Plod On

Girl,

Start small.

Then slowly

Widen your reach.

Don’t be afraid dear,

Though they may say a lot.

Listen to the voice inside,

“You have the spark to start a fire.”

Keep burning, like a phoenix, to ash,

‘Til you’re a girl no more, but a woman.

 

*Tried an etheree poem and ended up with this.  An etheree poem has 10 lines. It starts with a line with 1 syllable, then the second line has 2 syllables, and it goes on until you end with the 10th line that has 10 syllables.
