I Monitor My Path It's I who attracts them day after day invite them, come in bring calm or commotion situations and people on expeditions, we set off with velocity execute them then turnaround, searching for something new this life is a constant expedition where who stands at the helm is Me and I get to decide the cadence match the frequency I want from choices around me just grist for the mill - EXPEDITION - to embrace slowed down soon Then life will reward me with abundance profound wisdom too to discern miracles when I monitor my path which I have control, exclusive as your path's unparalleled to you so let's all set out on expeditions where our paths are destined to sublimate each our own but augmented, rounded null of judging and controlling; free from guilt, temptation-free ready to receive the gifts we choose to give a bridge of love healthy mind steadfast true *** © 2021 selmamartin.com
The days sure have become hot, humid, and long. A lot more daylight
than I like to consume. Um, I think that’s just the problem. The
amount of light we get here in Japan makes one lethargic. It does feel
to me as if the somnolence of 2 p.m is on all day.
So, let’s blame it on that. For this theme prompt for Colleen’s Word Craft: Prose
and Poetry, Tanka Tuesday, I delved deep. The word is EXPEDITION, selected by
Donna Matthews, who I want to introduce to you all.
I chose the Etheree format once again– alternating with reversed verses that look
lovely on the page.
An Etheree focuses on one idea or subject with a memorable message within the count of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-+ syllables. The poem is unrhymed but should contain rhythm and flow; it should have a title and include a sense of meaning, emphasizing imagery. ~ Page 177~ in The Art of Crafting Syllabic Poetry by Colleen M.
