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).
Twinned Polarities
Demons dance in the corners of my eyes.
Whispers creep and crawl, bees hiss inside.
My thoughts disordered and senseless,
like a worm that eats through stone.
Soul twisting shadows cause
sickness unto death.
Burning bush’s light
extinguished.
Inhale.
Snap–
Pause.
Exhale.
Mania,
At last, it comes.
Strength without reason,
soon will drown my whole psyche.
Rainbow storms and wishing stars,
now the only things I perceive.
Mind fairies fly, spinning dust to gold.
Head now fractured – no – a sheathed God now free.
