A gate narrow for many

Which gate will you choose

    Good write JM. Why must I use 50 words when 5 will do - sometimes?! lol.
    The wide gate is easy, looks nice and cosy, many go through it. But it's only the narrow gate and path that leads to life, we know.
    I though a Haiku was some sort of sneeze - Hai-choo! lol.

      Use as many words as you’d like to get the point across. My poems have become shorter because my inspiration is shorter.

      This one is definitely influenced by Matthew 7:13-14. We have the ability to choose which gate to go to.

      This one has three lines and three sneezes!

      Nicely said choices are constant and many.

        I believe human beings have the intrinsic ability to feel the difference between right and wrong. The problem is outer influences.

          Well said
