Etheree

Etheree consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables. Etheree can also be reversed as 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Get creative and write an etheree with more than one verse, but follow the reverse 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. 

Try a triple etheree, quadruple etheree, and so on!
Hate
infests
this country,
Suffering and 
pain fills the lives 
of certain people here
Law is corrupt and we love
To blame the colors of our skin
For mistakes that have not yet been made
The world deteriorates to nothing 

​By: Rosie Madden



Shadows lurking in every cornered stop 
Hide your family and friends away 
I know summer is meant for fun
But not this typical day 
Monsters roaming the streets  
Hectic ghouls at bay 
No time for fun 
For people 
Out; To-
day

Drink 
Water;
Hydration
​It’s very best 
Rivers, never rest 
Water banks; treasure chest 
Liquid water; manifest 
Necessary to survival
Fluids are a need, very vital 
Eight cups, once a day. Hooray water, Yay!
