Our host today, Corinne, lives in Detroit, Michigan where she teaches at Sampson Webber Leadership Academy in Detroit Public Schools Community District. She serves as a Transformative Engagement Lead at her site, presenting professional development for the staff. You can read her full prompt here.
Corinne inspires us to write two-voice poems, or poems in two perspectives. I have chosen a tricube for today’s two-voice poem, alternating voices in italics and unitalicized text.
Decisions
I doubt it…
I’m certain.
Let’s rethink.
I say yes.
I say wait.
Wait alone.
Cold feet stay.
Sure feet go.
Wait means no.






Wow, I’m seeing the magic of a tricube that works with two voices! You have captured so much here. The give and take is great in the first two stanzas. Then the existential questions I think of in reading that last stanza. It makes me consider bravery and curiosity and wanting more!

Thank you, Denise! It seems like sometimes decisions about which way to go require movement in a yes or no direction, and the standstill is still a no, I have figured. Thanks for always understanding and encouraging me.
