The author's words have an excellent message! They makes a lot of sense
to me. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and
compliments these words well.

You said it! Not only did you say it clearly but with alliteration built right in. Introspection leads to the destination and all the others that come between the two have to be there too.
I love the signposts that say this way, that way, and another way. This speaks loud and clear about the need to think things through and do thorough research before joining in.

A great visual to fit your 6 word poem about soul searching. Decisions can be very difficult, sometimes, and we resist change. But with well considered introspection, decisions are better able to arrive at their rightful destination. Great alliteration! Good luck in the contest! Debbie

Wow, that is really deep, Beth!!
I think we all stand at that crossroads from time to time and try to decide which way. Sometimes no way really sounds right, but the use of Insight is a great way to look at these decisions when they come. Gain insight first, then make the decision as that will determine your destination.

Well penned, my friend!
Hugs,
Rhonda

This is so clever! I love it! And you made both lines alliterative. We do have to go through introspection in order to gain insight and our decisions determine where we go from there. I think this should do well in the contest!

Wow! That was great!
Really good job with only 6 words. Amazing, there's only one thing that can be done about. Such a great problem is this. I hope you have a awesome day!

I was thinking, "insight invites introspection" would match your second line of alliteration across the three words.

Either way, a thoughtful summation as to how we get to where we most want to end up in life.

Good luck.

    Thank you Pam. I had invites there to begin with and it improved it poetically but I 'invites' is just means suggests. I wanted a stronger word. I might try another word and see if it works

Not making a decision is making a decision too. I have known people who can't decide, yet that in itself is a decision. I enjoyed reading this contest entry and want to wish you the best of luck.

    Thank you Barbara. I find it hard to consider six words a poem but I didn't to try entering all the free to enter contest. You are right. Not deciding amounts to a decision whether we admit it or not.
