POEM STARTER

Write an Etheree poem on any theme you like.

An Etheree is a ten-line poem where the first line has one syllable, the second has two, and so on up to ten syllables (or this structure in reverse).

You Broke Me

Poetry

I trusted you with _everything_ I had.

My stuff, my heart, even my future.

But you didn’t seem to notice.

Or maybe you didn’t care.

Your words were complete **lies**.

Because you broke me.

So completely.

You destroyed_,_

_Shattered_

**Me**.

The structure, as Mia said, aligned so well with the hurt and breaking! You did so much in ten lines!

how you matched up the decreasing syllables with the theme of breaking DEFINITELY enhanced the poem and i loved it. so powerful with such little lines!!!!!
