thriveni c mysore Poet Etheree

Walk The Tightrope

For
a girl
with shy smile,
bit assertive,
sweet tooth, talkative,
foolishly true-speak rude,
learning to be gracious kid
polite and well-mannered quickly
evolving to responsible teen
with changing family was tightrope walk.
'Walk the tightrope again' said the tough fate
so as adult balancing fears, tears,
terrified of making mistakes,
choices in the heart of hearts,
learnt to be polite, I
carry on tight-lipped
along ebb tide
of precious
divine
Life.

John Read December 21, 2024 at 11:29 AM Hi thriveni, I do believe it's something we do from the day we're born until the day we die,life is a journey of balance. Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year. thriveni c mysore December 22, 2024 at 6:01 PM I agree with your thoughts dear poet. Balance it is. Some never succeed in finding that, some excel in it. Thank you for your kind visit. I am grateful to you for the blessing dear poet. I wish you the same. Happy Christmas, May it bring mirth to earth..Cheers.

Gary Radice December 21, 2024 at 12:57 AM The naivety of childhood and the realities of growing up. As Evelyn stated, life is a balancing act for sure. I like this quote from UK actor Simon Pegg: “ Ultimately, we are all products of the experiences we have and the decisions we make as children, and it remains a peculiar detail of human condition that something as precious as the future is entrusted to us when we possess so little foresight. Perhaps that's what makes hindsight so intriguing.” Cheers - Gary thriveni c mysore December 22, 2024 at 5:53 PM I am grateful to you for your visit dear poet. Interesting quote made me search for it. Every other life has normal life cycle, except that of a human. Roller coaster of emotions from cradle to grave. Perplexing. I am so glad by your visit dear poet. Thank for this day's joy. Cheers.

Evelyn Judy Buehler December 19, 2024 at 8:04 PM Your beautiful poem well describes how moving with the precarious flow of life is oftimes a balancing act, Thriveni. So nicely written. :) thriveni c mysore December 22, 2024 at 5:44 PM I am grateful to you for your kind visit dear poet. 'balancing act' well said, I chose this interesting form to express highs-lows of life as well. Thank you, means so much to me, a blessing it is. Cheers.

Andrea Dietrich December 19, 2024 at 4:07 PM Keep your eyes forward and don't look down. You are doing great. Just as your poem suggests. This poem reminds of a movie I saw about a famous tightrope walker. Oh my gosh. He walked between two high buildings in NYC and could easily have fallen to his death. I was. On the edge of my seat. thriveni c mysore December 22, 2024 at 5:39 PM Thank you dear poet for your kind visit. Sometimes overcoming a sticky situation is exhaustive, I tried to write it in as few lines as possible. I am thankful for your comments dear friend. thank you. Blessings & Cheers.
