pathway to options somewhere, nowhere, anywhere take them or leave them
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. – Henry David Thoreau
A Monoku is a type of poem which is made up of a single horizontal line. Traditionally considered as a haiku writing, it is currently accepted as a variant of the haiku form of poetry. Monoku emerged as an independent style of poetry in the 1970s.

My pleasure, dear.
Each word written in a Monoku can represent a single human step I reason.
Yes, it can be read as you wish. For example, it can be read as a haiku –
pathway to options
somewhere, nowhere, anywhere
take them or leave them
That quote strikes all the right chords!!! I never knew about Monoku, thanks for sharing.

interesting. Does it have a maximum amount of words?
No, but it is 17 syllables – here is more information.
Unlike the Haiku which is made up of three outlines with a total of seventeen syllables, Monoku features a single line consisting of seventeen syllables or even fewer.
It contains a pause brought about by speech rhythm with slight or no punctuation. The first letter should not be capitalized – but instead written in lower case.
Oh thank you so much for this. 🙂
