Another slogan (Etheree)

by Melissa   Mar 12, 2007


Bought
comfort
in a brand
of green flip-flops
from this blond cashier
who wore pure thoughtlessness
as his new philosophy
while imposing absurd notions
on the youthful minds of persuasion
that inner beauty is overrated

~Etheree~
Consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables.

    To write such a powerful Etheree is difficult, but you managed to do it perfectly..... I could picture it all as I read! Well done Melissa, well done!

    I really like this, great use of form and style and a comment on today's society and view of beauty/materialism.

    Wow! This was very very very very well done...Ah, Melissa...This Etheree spoke to me and to all others who can relate and sneer at society's perception of many things in life today. Keep it up! 55555555555/5
