Le Voyage Magnifique

Treadmill

He climbs
his way to top
without a solid plan
to lay foundation for
the daily grind
alone.

Treadmill
goes 'round until
he's back where he began
to reap rewards of trudge
anonymous,
alone.

Poet's note ▼

The Cyclus is a twelve-line treasure gleaned from Viola Berg's Pathways for the Poet. The name is reference to the cycling syllable counts, as described in the following link: http://www.poetrymagnumopus.com/forums/topic/1001-visual-verse-or-shape-verse/#c... .
