Contest Description
What to Submit?
Write an Etheree on any theme, any subject.
Use www.howmanysyllables.com to count your syllables.
An Etheree is a type of poem which has ten lines. It goes in chronological order on the lines corresponding to the amount of syllables on it. It is a successive one to one system. So, the counts literally go up 1, 2, ,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 for each time that one hits enter on the keyboard.
This type of poem can also go in reverse. Simply count down the numbers starting with ten. Or there can be something called a Double Etheree. This means that the lines will count upwards, and then at ten, ten is repeated and then it is counted down. So a Double Etheree is actually a 20 line poem.
I'm looking forward to see what you all come up with.
Goodluck
