Out of the light and into the darkness
drawn together by our Creator
we seek to find our path in life
Inevitably and
certainly there is a
master-plan in store
unbeknownst
to us; but
we are
one…

 

Author notes

The form I have used here is called a reversed Etheree. An Etheree has 1 syllable in the first line, graduating down to 10 in the last line. Rules on the form can be found here: http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/types.html

A contest entry

my first attempt at this form - let me know if there's a mistake

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    form poetry is hard to be creative with usually, as you are stuck to the rules that bind the form, but you have seemed to find not only the form, but also the voice to say what you wanted....nice job
