Who Knew (Etheree)

by Sylvia   Jul 30, 2009


You
are blue.
This is true.
Time to renew,
bid those blues adieu,
and tell them you are through.
Happiness long overdue,
no longer will it be taboo.
Make it clear, you are starting anew,
a decision not open for review.

The poetry form, Etheree, consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables. Etheree can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Get creative and write an Etheree with more than one verse, but follow suit with an inverted syllable count.

Reversed Etheree: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Double Etheree: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

...Triple Etheree, Quadruple Etheree, and so on!

    I feel like there is a hidden message for
    someone here..all in all it speaks loud & clear
    not to revel in the past & move on. Good job
    with the form..take care.

    Impressive!! I think everyone has said it already.. very well done, a great message with only a few words. Loved the form you used. Well done w/ the rhyme, it was not forced like many poems are. :]
