Whispering Willows (etheree)



Wind~

 

 

whipping~

 

 

westerly~

 

 

willows singing~

 

 

whispering secrets~

 

 

wandering leaves rustle~

 

 

wind on the rise calls to me~

 

 

wild escapades swirl in echos~

wonderous symphony of nature~

 

 

wings of angels rush across tall grass fields~

 

 


~~Suseann~~

 

 

Author notes

Etheree
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!

    Wonderful form, and all lines starting with the same letter too makes this an extra sepcial poem. Liked the presentation as well. Very classy looking.

    Beautiful poem suseann, I loved it, your best Etheree I think. Can I just point out...I think wonderous was spelt wrong, and that could be misleading, and some people could count it as anothe 8 syllable line.
    Perhaps.
    However, I still love this Etheree, well done suseann.
    best wishes as always

    This is great, well written and you used beautiful words. This form of poetry seems very hard to write to me by reading your author's notes. But when I read your poem you make it seem effortless. Great write.

    Blessed Be, Chelsea
