Hours
and hours
sitting at
the computer
writing report for
friend’s return on Monday.
Now too tired to blog tonight
so will continue Antibes story
tomorrow after a good night’s sleep
having read more of Charlie Fox’s adventures.
This is another attempt at writing an etheree. Exactly one year ago today I made my first attempt but got it wrong. The basic etheree form has ten lines, the first consisting of exactly one syllable, the second line of two syllables, and so on until the last line has ten syllables. An etheree can also be reversed, starting with ten syllables and ending with one. But I wrote one word on the first line, two on the second and so on. It wasn’t until after I wrote my poem on Snow in Brooklyn that I found my mistake.
But the date on the camera is wrong – it was 15/8/2011.

Good
morning
rise and shine,
I hope you are
feeling so refreshed
after a nice long sleep
and are ready to start the
day with a smile and a coffee.
And now it’s goodbye from me because
I seem to have run out of things to say.

How clever. I will try it one day. But it takes me a while to get the Six Word Saturday sentence written so this type of poem may require a month.

I’ve never heard of this form, either, but I think it is fun, and yours was delightful. I also love that picture of snow in Brooklyn , especially as we are still very much in our summer season.

We are noticing the evenings getting lighter here and so are convinced that spring is on its way. Summer, though, is still months away. 🙂

Funny, because we’ve been noticing the morning light seems to come a little bit later and later here. I love the fall, but I’m not partial to winter.
