Pretty good. A kind of used concept, but you already knew that. I like the last stanza, but it doesn't seem to have enough closure to it.

I really like the questions posed here. So many people just go through their lives choosing whatever comes easiest; they hardly acknowledge their own power of choice. As I read over the middle three stanzas, I get the idea you are makiung allusions. The last one seems to be "The Road Not Taken," but I'm clueless on the others. They just sound familiar. I expect it will bother me for awhile now. Nice job, anyway; I enjoyed this.

I really like this poem too. Stanza two--Phantom reference? Made me happy. :) but that was just one thing out of many I liked.

Yep, the double edged sword analogy is very powerful in this work. I like how it ties in every stanza - splitting something painfully in two.

the loose rhyming is cool. Normally people just stick to rhymeing or not rhyming. I like the way you use words - it adds an unpredictibility to your work.

The poem was a bit literal, portraying the actual choices people might have to make rather than the consequences of choice. Also, it seems to go in a loop without really any sort of progression. I don't know if it was what you intended or not.

I like the metaphor used comparing choice to a 'double-edged sword.' That was quite original. On a preference thing, all of the questions were a bit much...but they were effectively used, added to the effect, and made sense. So that's not really much to complain about, is it? I noticed that you have the same first few words starting each line in each stanze. That's smart. Repetition was good. Great job!

I like the repetition of the first stanza at the end. It really ties it all together. Great job!

Thanks for the review!

Very good. The structure has strength, and really brings out what you had to say. Keep writing!
