Tethered Ambitions, a monostich


Monostich is a one-line poem, or a one-line-stanza poem

My first attempt at a monostich -

Tethered to the spool of relations, yet another bird turns into a kite!

This week at Imaginary garden with real toads, poets frame queries in "Fashion me a poem", using not more than 100 words, in the style of Emily Dickinson's 'Answer July' Here's one on the dilemma on which is the best phase of life - past, present or future:  PC: www.google.co.in Answer tomorrow -  What do you hold - Where lies my smile - Which way to memory? Sighed tomorrow - Are you bold - Can you laugh every while - Yester is remembrance already! I am gone - said yesterday - What did I teach - Where is the dream - Do you wish to deem - What is it today? Frowns today – Is past the leisure I had – Is future good or bad – How many more of me(s) to add? Exclaimed – life explained – Beautiful was yester – Upcoming not to pester – Today a daily fad! Live everyday – taught experience PC: www.google.co.in

All ways however lead to a better future or prepare one for a better future :) Crossroads offer choice pick a way there’s no right path steppingstone
