This week, Colleen has given us the words Celebrate and Number as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as an Etheree, I chose Estimate and Ritual.
One
Seemly
Estimates
A timely span
On this living Earth
Unknowing where it ends
They often choose to reflect
Growing old, another birthday
With constant reminders from others
Who find the ritual more important

Wonderful post!!! Really like the idea of using two words but only the synonyms being used!! In fact, Celebrate and Number inspired me to write a piece but not as an ethree! I’ll send it on your contact page!

You have written a truth with your words, Dorinda. As you get older those birthdays just mean that you survived another year! LOL! Excellent Etheree. ❤

There are many of us who do not wish to be reminded of how old we are. However, that never seems possible lol Thank you so much, Colleen! ❤
