Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/24/2011 7:37:00 PM So did you not have this posted as etheree earlier when I first saw it. yes, you did etheree!! I love this form so much, I even have a chapbook out with all etheree inside it. It was named after a man with that name!! It adds up to 55 syllables (which is my birth year and lucky number!) I hope this one does well. Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/21/2011 12:26:00 PM Jack, thanks for your comments on the Christmas cactus poem. It is virtually impossible to congratulate everyone in every contest. My internet connection is not very fast and it sometimes takes hours to recognize each winner. The ads popping up on the site now have really slowed down the process. Used to be able to read and comment more before all these ads and popups. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/21/2011 10:49:00 AM Gee, another new contest! Haven't even seen this one yet, but enjoyed your etheree very much. Let's us know a bit more about you. I love them all except the Canterbury Tales. We had to read them in high school and I found the old English words a bit confusing. Perhaps it would make more sense now. I'm intrigued by Susan Hill's "ghost story." Wishing you success, my friend. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
