Choosing the Middle

I reread this several times because the story is enchanting, and the ending actually makes me want more (in a good way).

I have two thoughts: One, if you're going to keep this as a poem it could be shortened. Shannon already went through here pretty thoroughly, and I think her advice is on target.

Two, I'd love to read this as a short story. I'd love to know why the narrator visited this fortune teller of sorts, what it is about "true blue" and "choosing the middle" that is important to this person, the significance of the ring being worn to this day.

You know what I really like? I like that the person goes to find out her fortune but is made to choose it herself. There's something cool about that.
