P is for Parapentors and Path

It's P day!

It is National Poetry Month, so I am posting a poem a day as I participate in the AtoZ writing challenge.  I will be writing ekphrastic poetry (a poem that was written with inspiration from an image) using a randomly generated image with a randomly generated FAKE word all this month.  

I am using the site: https://randomwordgenerator.com to get both a fake word and random image for the day.  Here's today's image and poem using the FAKE word "parapentors":

Choices

There are parapentors on the path;

T'would never do to seek their wrath!

So I will step off wooden lath

To seek a safer, detoured path.

Rarely is there man that hath

Not wished he'd done the better math

To pick the far off painless path

'Ere earning parapentors' wrath.
