Without you ( rhyming Etheree) - first attempt

by Michael   Apr 14, 2018


while sitting alone and thinking of you
my memories brings a shade so blue
knowing my habits broke us down
here i sit with constant frown
without you nowhere near
so hear me darling
in all my plight
I beg you
just to
Write
me a
letter with
your heart enclosed
thoughts to rid my woes
words with love just to read
for this will help plant a seed
forgive myself from ruined past
wept my sorrow over endless years
please grace my vision and prevent my tears

    Michael, I have just written my first etheree but it is a 'standard' one and certainly doesn't rhyme! Here, you have a double etheree that does - superb. The only thing I might point out is that the two last lines both have ten syllables, I believe, and the penultimate one should have nine. (scrap my advice if it's wrong)!

    Anyway, this is great.

    Ben
