Wall of trees, no compass, no paths in sight, feeling lost and trapped. At last, the maze reveals our twisting, sinuous creek. Relieved, we wade awhile, turning to home. Our puzzle solved, soon we are telling tall tales in our peaceful garden. Using the 10 words: garden, maze, paths, sinuous, turning, trapped, puzzle, twisting, lost, wall

that was a cute little meandering through a woods and feeling lost. Gosh, I rarely bypass SHORT poems. What happened with me here? haha!! I think this is another form you are going to do very nicely with in future writes.

Looks like a pyramid, your presentation. I enjoy creating poems in this way. Many times we find ourselves trying to find a way out. Life is a maze, the paths are twisted and we do get lost. Such a wonderful feeling when we see the light- the way out. Once again, you have created a masterpiece with your words. Hugs, Brandy

This is a fave for me John! Such a gorgeous journey through the mysterious turns leading to beautiful places. The Etheree form gives it the desired effect. Your words are soothing my friend. Congratulations on your win. Blessings :)

Tom, I would say that brilliant minds think alike, but there's only one brilliant mind between the pair of us and it isn't mine... I am heading over to read your maze poem now. Thanks for the visit, my friend ~ John

What a clever idea to do an etheree for the contest (I can't seem to format my poems correctly for the shape ones) I really like 'wall/of trees' and 'twisting, sinuous creek' - hope it's a winner!

Thank you Michelle. I like when etherees come out more pyramid-shaped than this one did, haha! I ran out of time. I appreciate your comments, my friend.
