OctPoWriMo: Lanturnes

Today's Prompt: Instead of writing about something that is different, a time when you wish you were brave, let's talk about something you wouldn't change. You did it and you're happy that you did. It could be a success or a failure. Perhaps a choice that others may perceive as a failure, but you know it was the best choice for you. Perhaps you took the road less traveled and it was a success for you.

Word Prompts: roads, traveler, passing, day, difference

Poetry Prompt:  (this is my choice for today) The Lanturne is a five-line verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of one, two, three, four, one.

These remind me of haiku with their simple and yet powerful messages. I found my passion and this prompt is a good reminder of why I do what I do. Enjoy, Dear Readers!

Choice--
to write
some question
but I know why,
Dreams

Ink--
spills like
rivers flow
cascading down,
Tales


Write--
my choice
the ink is
my blood flowing
through

Roads--
new day
new choices
and travelers
go
