My Poetic Latticework

Write!

Write
about
fantasies
and little things
with fresh perspective,
like rainbow detected
in shower from garden hose
not ordinarily noticed
while performing mundane chores each day--
little things plain as the palm of your hand.

Use your words to paint intriguing pictures
with magic of sensory detail
to cast enchantment on readers.
Connect physical matter
with spiritual truth
so audience can
engage with ease.
Keep it fresh.
Do it
right.

Notes on Etheree form of poetry ▼

Rules: 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!

Choices for the poet this week: You poem may be on any subject and have as many lines as you wish in multiples of 10. Have fun!

Let the creativity flow from your soul!
