Seduction of the Storm

Etheree poem

Seduction of the Storm

November 15, 2011

 

Breathe

Exhale.

Rise then fall.

Hoist the mainsail

before the nightfall.

Mutiny doth travail

anon the lascivious squall

tightening ropes, the forestaysail,

man the mast, drift past the great stonewall.

Wind over water, ocean’s brief inhale.

Author's Note

Etheree poems are poems that consist of 10 lines in which the first line has one syllable and every line after that up to ten has one more syllable than the last. Etheree can also be reversed and written in a 10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 format as well.

I don't believe they necessarily have to rhyme but for some reason I found that I needed to with this one.

Beautiful imagery. I love the power in your voice as you make precise words stick out giving life to a poem, your poem. It speaks volumes through little words bring their meaning a more intense flavour.

Strong statements and beautiful artwork made the poem have life. When a large storm is coming. Nature reaction show us the way to escape the sea. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
