This is so true, as we get older I believe we are more fearful of change. Set in our ways, doesn't have to be. I would rather try and fail then wonder what if. Life can be an adventure. I had to learn that too. Great read. joan marie

Tetractys form - you adhere to it well in its original and inverted variant - and you make a most compelling point about how fear can paralyze us from making change and seeing the possibilities change might bring. Brooke

Sue, your muse has been good to you. Wow, the poems you have been producing are superb!
Ths one come bearing words of wisdom. I have been there too, although change is imminent. I wrote a poem on a similar subject. I'll post it soon.
Good job, as usual, Sue.

Sue,
a 'Mirrored Teradactyl?' now, I've seen it all when names of poetry are concerned, my friend. lol This one, I could understand what it meant, but not why in this style. I'll never understand poetry, hard as I try. loll

Comment from NightWriter
"Open to Change" is a beautifully written Mirrored Tetractys poem. It's perfect in rhythm as it is in prose. How very true it is. Well done.

Oh my goodness, what a photo pic! It sure goes well with your poem. Your message and the style you chose is terrific and I agree we must get out of our comfort zones. Good work, Loyd

Comment from findingmyroom
Fantastic. The form somehow seems appropriate for the premise of the piece, as it looks like something expanding then closing in again on itself.

Good observation about the form. I've done one tetractys before and have been meaning to do another. Thanks so much for your very kind words and review. Sue
Comment from MJMuraco
Nice work and resisting change is what many people do however, it is best to take some risk in life. The artwork went nicely and the poem flowed.

This is so me! LOL I used to grasp foreign opportunity with a tight fist, but I'm finding myself holding back. We can all learn from this - take more chances! Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem with us!

This is a great poem, Sue. I enjoyed the rhythm of it, and the free verse flexibility - it's a great shape! Just one typo which you are probably fixing as I write this: fear"seizing. Cheers. :)

You are correct. Sometimes when I paste from "Word", an em dash turns into something else, so I have to go back and fix it. That you liked the tetractys. I've only done one before, so thought I'd give it another go. Thanks much! Sue
-
Tectractys? Why can't they call them something simple like 'Fred'? There you go, I'm showing my poetic ignorance again. I liked it though - very unusual.

Sounds like a dinosaur, doesn't it?!!! HA!!!
