Toads: To Be

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads
Etheree(al)



We are challenged to do a poetry form called an etheree. It is written as lines with syllables: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10. It's also to be focused on a single theme.


be
yourself
who are you?
you must begin
an inner journey
to find all the answers
only then can we become
the person of our destiny
a lifelong journey finding contentment

    1. We are about the same age. I'm 60. Still trying to I understand life, my place in it, and how to undo the damage to my brain cells. We are all works in progress methinks...always.
