    Fork In The Road: Peace Or Pleasure

    Fork In The Road: Peace or Pleasure

    Carrying Lifes Load on my back as I roam the dark tree filled woods
    Staggering strife but still bold, Cold; But still moving as fast as I could
    Life is a struggle; weight is sinking my feet into the solid ground
    Going farther and farther into the earth; Seem like I am hell bound
    But I most make my way through; Even if the trees are touching the sky
    So I cant see if the sky is blue; And I think to myself, God why?
    Am I going into this? Did I astray from your great will?
    Life is moving fast and bumpy like I am walking on shakey hills
    But then finally I reach a fork in the road I have been traveling for days
    I notice it and stopped as I never seen this before; running through this maze
    So I graze at the imprinted words in the blocks of wood and arrows pointing
    To the two separate directions; I read the word Pleasure outloud choking
    Knowing of Gods deception; againt me I took the direction of pleasure
    Expecting a nice dwelling to rest my aching body and some nice weather
    So I got my body together; and made a left to the life of pleasure and happiness
    Making the left wasn’t the right choice I was forced to live life happiless



    To Be Continued…

    very poetic man, some great imagery (the best feature of the piece) and good vocab to support it. Some multi's would've helped the flow though and i thought the lines were overstretched, but the originality of the topic and its other strengths more then made up for it.

    keep posting.

    I thought this was nice......In the openor, Dont force the words....If it doesnt fit, Then dont add it lol....For example, Cold didnt really need to be their, kinda filler...

    Structure is volatile....Work on that, Make it a consistent flow.

    Pretty nice vocab, But i think you should incorporate a new Rhyme scheme into your pieces....Like this XXX BBB XXX, and so on and so fourth.

    But overall this piece was nice man, Keep droping.

    Not that bad of a read. Although this story could've been worked on a bit better. It just didn't really hit me as well as other pieces on here. Either it's that or you should've just waited to put the continued verse on, cuz the ending of this, wasn't good at all. Ending's are supposed to leave you hanging, or with your jaw dropped. Other than that, everything was good, wordplay, vocab was decent, flow was a little iffy at points and some metaphors were kinda lame like the whole shaky hills thing, i never heard the term ''shaky hills'' before lol. But, keep wriitng man, i hope to see more from you soon.
