Choices, choices

I could choose to leave this image
pale and small because the flower is.
I could keep playing with the color
and never publish, or then claim
my software isn't working right.
I could say I'll get around to it
after I've cleaned the house
(knowing I never will).
My intentions might be good,
but I'll might just forget it --
or perhaps I'll toss it altogether
because someone may not like it,
and I can't deal with criticism.
I could make people tell me it's gorgeous,
and then publish, blaming them,
or reject it because I just never seem
to get flowers right.
Instead, I choose to share it here and now,
with you.
