    Here is the form Olwin

    The poetry form, Etheree, consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables. Etheree can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Get creative and write an Etheree with more than one verse, but follow suit with an inverted syllable count.

    Reversed Etheree: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

    Double Etheree: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

    ...Triple Etheree, Quadruple Etheree, and so on!

    This verse seems so appropriate now, brings smiles to me. That is a good thing.

    Hello,

    just thought I would read another random one from you...

    Here
    I am
    Back again
    Among my friends
    It feels just like home
    Makes me happy inside
    Warms my very heart and toes!
    Makes me smile like a cheshire cat
    Here I will stay till the setting sun...

    this is a Nonet. A poem that has nine lines. First line 1 syllable. Syllables rise 1 x each line.

    The poem feels positive and has a nice sunny imagery about it.

    Well done,

    Michael
