"There Are Two Doors... " Poem by Daniel Brick

"There Are Two Doors... "

Rating: 5.0


There are two doors
that need to be opened.
They must be opened
in a particular order,
and left open. This procedure
must be honored, even when it's
violated. Results will vary,
but act now, because the cold air
you feel in hallways and foyers
will increase and make you sick.
You do not want to face failure.
First, there is the humiliation
of being caught, when you are
so adept at being free. There may be
scars, in any case. That's my second
point. The third point is that all of this
matters greatly: the humiliation, the losses,
the trust betrayed again and again. This is
what happens when you are negligent. Do not
be a loser: Open first the door on the your right....

Doors? Such an intriguing sunrise...the right is always first choice of reach, unless you are left handed...or in poetic terms...left hearted...either way, advice is so welcomed when it is written with love as its intention! Daniel, I hold you in such high esteem as a poet of passion, thank you my friend for poetry that is in my opinion...unique and penned from a pure heart!

The choices can be difficult and they must be well thought out. The wrong one can be catastrophic. Interesting write.

You had my head whirling, absolutely spinning on its axis, until. my clever friend, I remembered who is speaking here- -my favorite and very clever poet who demands of his readers a certain amount of thought, discernment, and a grasp of satire and a sense of when one is being roasted. Top marks though I never see any response when I rate a poem....it is better that you know this is a million star poem to your readers anyway

Profound poem, yes, right door is a path to success. No gains without pains but, wilful negligence is a crime. You rightly highlighted, your point in the best possible manner. Inspiring poem.10*********
