Linda, a fellow blogger friend from The Task At Hand, recently shared a beatiful poem titled Transition. It was written in the poetic form called an Etheree. I told her she inspired me and I was going to give it a try.
So, here is my first attempt at writing an Etheree.
The
Hat that
perched on the
head of my dad,
perfectly defined
his work, his heart, his life
on a good horse, trailing cows
from the mountains to desert flats
managing ranches, horses and cows,
a lifestyle, now, almost extinct; the Cowboy.

It’s such fun to see someone else trying this form, and it’s especially great to see it done so well. You used the form perfectly, and managed in the process to really convey the qualities your dad valued — and embodied! I hope you had as much fun writing it as I had reading it!

Thank you, and yes I did. In fact you have inspired me to step out of my comfort zone. I am going to try a few other forms as well. Thanks for always encouraging me. I truly appreciate it.
