This morning I wanted to experiment with different forms and discovered the etheree. I wrote one. I thought it would be a magic wand to help me feel better. It isn't. And yet, I wrote - so somehow that feels like it must be worth something. And if you don't know what an Etheree is, here is a bit of explanation so you too will be able to say you learned something this weekend.
What is an Etheree? "The poetry form, Etheree, consists of 10 lines of
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables." I did a bit more research and discovered, "The
Etheree Form was discovered about 20 years ago by an Arkansas poet Etheree Taylor Armstrong.
It has a structure much like the nonet, except that it has an additional line.
Saturday Morning, 6:32 AM
Pffffffft
helpless
to assist
solutions
float out of reach
There must be some way...
Pause, as if in prayer
From silence erupts nothing
Here the speed of sound moves slowly
Ten minutes later: gritty ghost work
Still brings empty hands, speechless images
