Contest Description

Hi Soupers, I would like to do few premier contests to lift you all up. 

So my first contest will be on Etheree form. 

 

Give me an Etheree written on any theme, any subject.

I prefer double etherees. But you can do a single etheree too. 

 

Use www.howmanysyllables.com to count your syllables.  I will be using that when judging. 

 

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

 

Line 1 : 1 syllable 

Line 2: 2 syllables 

Line 3: 3 syllables 

Line 4: 4 syllables 

Line 5: 5 syllables 

Line 6: 6 syllables 

Line 7: 7 syllables 

Line 8: 8 syllables 

Line 9: 9 syllables 

Line 10: 10 syllables 

 

This type of poem can also go in reverse. Simply count down the numbers starting with ten.  you can also do 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

 

thank you all for always supporting my contests
