How
nice are
Etherees.
You simply add
a syllable to
each new line you write till
you finish with line ten. . . or
start with ten syllables, ending
with one. Rhyme them or not, but meter
gives flow, so . . . take up your pen now and GO!

I choose to show an Etheree poem because it is such a fun and easy one for us to write. I even explained how to do it inside the poem itself. This 10-line form was created by American poet, Etheree Taylor Armstrong of Arkansas. It should focus on one theme and was actually created as a form that does not worry about meter or rhyme. However, I enjoy using meter to give flow and rhyme to add interest. A side note: the syllable count of the total poem adds up to 55. I was born in '55, and 5 is my lucky number and my life Path number in numerology, so that is another reason I adore this form!!
I also have examples of the etheree form shown at Shadowpoetry.com along with example by Marie Summer with very clear definition of the form and its other variations. Here is the link:
