Once More with Feeling

Thanks so much to Amreen B. Shaikh (Paint the World with Words) for the Etheree poetic form prompt.

As detailed in the post (link above), here’s what constitutes as an Etheree poem:

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

Here is my contribution. I had fun with it, so I hope you enjoy it.

Peace at last

Thanks for reading.

Mel

        I’ll give it a shot. I’m not a natural poet, I have to work at it. But it’s fun – most of the time 🙂
