Form Factor (Etheree)

Missing image
If
God had
intended
us to write our
poems in this form,
He would have given us
thirteen digits on our hands,
three to hold the quill or pen with
and the remaining ten to count the
syllables that we have penned in each line.

    hehe so true!! I tried to write in this form once and found exactly the same thing - constantly counting on fingers the number of syllables

    Your first etheree huh?? Well, to put it mildly you have a witful sense of humor....and yet I have to agree with you. But then again, I guess that's why I stopped writing in form unless needed

    This is a great attempt at a first Etheree. Congrats on making this form come to life in a unique way. I almost have to giggle at the message within it. I would agree with a-bear too. Well written!

    I have often said that Shakespeare must have written with his feet ... so he could use his fingers to count syllables for his sonnets. But I cannot conquer either of the forms so there you are! cute write.
