Timothy Hicks Poet Shape

Circle of Life

Child
follows
parent tryingly.
Step by step learning
everything with new start.
Rejoice and replant. Thoughts
become action and action blooms
~~~discovery~~~
blooms action and action become
thoughts. Replant and rejoice.
Start new with everything.
Learning step by step,
tryingly, parent
follows
child.



P.S. This shape poem is a palindrome.

Funom Makama February 11, 2016 at 9:00 AM A wonder and a bliss, your lines have given my heart a kiss and I am glad on your page, I did not suffer a miss. An outright 7 dear colleague Timothy Hicks February 11, 2016 at 5:21 PM Quite the eloquent reply, Funom! Thanks for the visit and creative comment :)

Connie Marcum Wong February 10, 2016 at 12:00 AM Your talent shines in this unique piece Tim, and a palindrome to boot! Impressive work. Bravo! #7 Timothy Hicks February 10, 2016 at 2:39 PM I am humbled, Connie. Thank you very much! I don't think I will be attempting the palindrome again anytime soon, however!

Maurice Rigoler February 9, 2016 at 2:52 PM With humorous verse the writer can do just anything he wishes with words. The reader should not analyze too literally, otherwise the humor falls flat on its face, so to speak. Thanks for the stop and comments. Now get a good night's sleep. / M

Maurice Rigoler February 8, 2016 at 9:55 PM You are one clever man, Timothy! I'd go insane trying to write one of these! The wisdom of this work is grest too. Keep writing. /M Timothy Hicks February 10, 2016 at 2:38 PM Try to maintain your sanity, friend! Keep up your great zingers and explosive imagination :)

Paul Callus February 8, 2016 at 11:04 AM Inverse reflection...ok, palindrome sounds better! Clever rendition and presentation. I suppose in a few years time I too will become dependent on my children:) ~ Regards // paul Timothy Hicks February 8, 2016 at 7:57 PM We're all learning, everyone of us. Thanks for stopping by!

Charmaine Chircop February 8, 2016 at 10:06 AM Love the message -The child that follows parent,and the parent that follows child.Indeed life is a circle with a never ending bond between parent and child -Awesome Timothy. Timothy Hicks February 8, 2016 at 7:56 PM Glad you could absorb the message. I've always kinda thought that both the child and parent learn from each other (just in different ways).

Richard Lamoureux February 8, 2016 at 8:17 AM Very clever and well done Tim! Timothy Hicks February 8, 2016 at 7:55 PM Thanks Richard! Appreciate the second visit :)

Eve Roper February 7, 2016 at 9:05 PM I like the poem and the form, Tim! A 7 Timothy Hicks February 8, 2016 at 7:55 PM Thanks Eve! Appreciate it :)

Suzanne Delaney February 7, 2016 at 8:43 PM Wow, How clever. A shape and a palindrome all in one. We ARE all in a cycle and all is interdependent. Excellent write. SuZ Timothy Hicks February 7, 2016 at 8:47 PM Thanks Suzanne! Palindromes are difficult to make sense backwards and forwards. I've seen some that write long and extravagant poems this way ... I can only do it in very short instances! Happy you got something out of this :)
