Uplifted

by Treischel


Uplifted
Always upward
Some follow
Others drifted
I shall climb
Always onward
Each advance in their own time





Recognized


This statue is located in an upscale condominium complex in Woodbury, Minnesota. The girl climbing with her eyes to the sky was inspirational. The two dogs, one following right behind, the other hesitant, spoke to me of their personalities and temperament. I tried to capture that here.

The Whitney poem format was created by Betty Ann Whitney. This is a seven-line versed poem based on Japanese patterns

with a fixed syllable format that contains 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 7 syllables respectively.

No rhyme scheme is required, but may be incorporated if desired.
