Etheree Contest Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Ink Empress 

1st place in the contest

My broken heart you left. Powerless hands confused - stupefied. Fleeting muffled music no cotton gloves wipe my tears. Scribbling on the sky the message; You are the precious star I gaze at. Swirling lone in agony and sorrow. Pay for driving in the wrong direction, loaded with stinging nettles and weeds Naked beneath the open sky Bless the fool, speak not in tongues On unscrupulous feet no fire of passion or soft feathers. Be careful with my heart

What a beautiful picture to go with your very poignant and soul stirring etheree. I love double etherees, and especially one that flows with not just exquisite wordplay, and imagery but also such deep emotions that can make any reader feel the depth of your feelings! “Bless the fool speak not in tongues” love that line and also the opening that truly touched my heart! Your syllables are on point! And i felt this poem strongly! Thank you for writing: congratulations on winning! Well deserved

Heart is brittle as glass. Unless handled with care, it will break. Your musing on the deserted heart is so very touching ! Great entry for the contest. All the best dear Anne. Love and hugs!

Anne-Lise this is a truly remarkable Etheree, a work of art that captivates even with its melancholic undertones. Your words possess a piercing quality, effortlessly piercing through the barriers of the heart.

something dies within us when we're abandoned and your poem richly addresses that. The picture is the perfect illustration. We are best served in being careful with one another's hearts. Enjoy your Sunday, Sara
