I love this sad, cautionary tale. Many of us have been down some of those long corridors, the point being - lesson learned, no need to go back there. Thanks for sharing, Linda

Excellent metaphor for starting over. Old habits and behavior patterns are hard to resist even when we know they're terrible choices. I like your presentation of temptation, but open the wrong door and the dragon will grab hold of you.
An enjoyable and instructive poem.
Stay safe healthy and blessed

I was captivated by the picture and the title, knowing it was to be a symbolic poem, and indeed it was. I like the metaphor of the closed doors and her inability to see what's behind. Nicely done. In this one line, I'm not sure but I think you have a typo: "can she just peek than (then?) walk away"
Anyway, I really enjoyed the poem and the wisdom I found there. MM

Some doors are dangerous to open, some door hold pain too horrible to bear. Any door that might lead to the past is a trap that will mislead you, fooling you into believing in do overs. There is no such ting. There is only do something worse than you did before. Walk quickly down the hall, out the door and never look back.

Very nice writing. She stepped outside the room firmly closed the door behind her no need to return there. Nary a door saying do over all meant to remain closed. Suggesting Keep the past in the past. Well done.

Fire breathing dragons can come in any shape or size and must be confronted when viewed from the point of the experience in life, for they cannot burn one who sees right through their smoke and harassment, for what they really are, all pomp and furry. Nicely written for each line stands alone as a complete thought. You might change (than to then). giovanni

This poem, The Corridor of Bad Choices, seems to be an allegory for poor choices along the way to the exit. Would be okay to sleep in the corridor.
Found this: can she just peek (then) walk away
Happy day.

Powerful metaphor--startling imagery---choking on past mistakes ... losing way in old storms-- and fresh turn of phrase--dragons in pretty palaces. Fine work. Cheers. LIZ
