Dank darkness was always settled around. It was all I knew of the near universe. Stale, stifling, suffocating in my broken and spilt trundle leaving bitter, morbidly clammy earth enshrouding my body and being. A crack in the soil, or in time perhaps. Slivers of light split the filthy floor, crawled over ornate catafalque, and continued its approach, like winter's blinding ice, to my exposed bones. Warming flesh grew and coursed with new - life blood.

Linda, omgosh! I consider the 'Etheree' format rather too complex to tackle, yet you did this form effortlessly. My hat's off to your well-deserved win, my friend! Aloha, William

beautiful imagery and masterfully constructed Etheree. I immediately thought of the bulbs I planted yesterday in our flower beds knowing that they needed the soil and darkness to warm their flesh and to come to life in the spring. I liked your creation, Sara

What a marvellous Etheree. I noticed some new words with which I'm not familiar in Malta. Yet a poem full of meaning and imagery. Blessings.
