 A CHANCE FOR FRESH IDEAS : Erasure poem

What will you quit?

Quitting dosen't mean you lack perseverance;

This sudden declaration,

This announcement

Will offer a chance,

To seize this moment of transition,

To foster growth.

    I like the idea of seizing the moment for transition to foster growth. That is always a positive. Nice work.

    Well done, Gillena! Sometimes we have to quit what no longer serves us to foster new growth.

    So true! I read an article in the NY Times a couple of years ago about quitting and found it again this morning. An excerpt: "quitting, when done right, allows you to achieve your goals more quickly. This is counterintuitive, because we think of quitting as stopping our progress. But that’s not true when the thing you started isn’t worthwhile. If you quit, that frees up all of those resources to switch to something that will actually help." Your poem says that, with fewer words. Very concise and profound!

    Yes, it depends on what you’re quitting!
