Why's
It that
I always
Wait until it's
Too late to simply
Say hello? When all I
Want is to be nearer to
Those I love and those who I just
Can't let go? My timidity gets
In the way of speaking what's on my mind.
If only I were bold enough to speak
As honestly as I would like. So
Many things that I could say! If
Only, if only. Perhaps
Some practice will be in
Order, and trust in
My peers is all
I need to
Get along.
Right?
A Double Etheree I wrote in regards to my lack of being able to speak such important truth to those I care about....


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!
