Etheree Practice

Thank you, Rose, at Imagine the Possibilities for gathering poetry for our Friday round-up this week.

I walked into this week with no planned poem. I thought I'd take a crack at an etheree. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. This one is OK. I'll practice some more before we reach March 31.




There's a new little haiku on the padlet: https://padlet.com/mitchellhubeimom/word-bwfgg0bqmjhf62fd/wish/2529604439

  1. Linda, sweet etheree. I like "blink-blinking" and "buckets of all kinds of rain." Flawless spring, yes.

  2. Your etheree is a great directive to follow for a 'flawless spring', Linda. I love the 'slight tilt of the earth' at this time of the year - though I have to say, my view of the world is always a bit tilted. ;)

  3. I think you did a fine job and the blink blinking faces at the end are not unlike the previous daffodils.

  4. Linda, it would be interesting if we had a flawless spring. Is the weather trying to play tricks on us? 81 yesterday, today is rainy and much, much cooler. ("buckets of all kinds of rain"). I enjoy reading your padlet whenever I can. Your haiku about tiny flowers is lovely, LUCKY is fun, and Words of Other Poets is a surprise. Thanks for carrying my words and my friends into a poem for your padlet. I will certainly pause to refresh myself and mind today.

  5. If only there were a foolproof recipe for a flawless spring like the one you describe! Love "forsythia gold galore"

  6. I love that last line. Blinking to reset our eyesight for the bright light.

  7. Oh Linda, that's beautiful! "slight tilt of the earth" is my favorite line-- I thing because it makes me feel like I'm leaning forward in anticipation... not unlike the feeling of waiting for seeds for sprout!

  9. I'm echoing Jama, love the "blink-blinking winter faces"! Also, we'd love to have some buckets of rain!

  10. I like your etheree recipe... the "slight tilt" is my favorite also. I think the etheree form is perfect for recipes. Thanks!

  11. Linda, I love this one, especially from "buckets" onwards--so much abundance! I'm gearing up for the etheree too, which is just one decimal up from nonet, right? Better get counting!

  12. I love the WORD choice in your title! (And your padlet haiku is spot on!)

  13. Ohh I love "wide runs of crocus." I'm so ready for spring!

  14. Well, I think the etheree came out really well, Linda... love those emerging winter faces. I imagine they are squinting :)

  15. I'm with Marcie, smitten with those "wide runs..." - Nice, Linda! Happy Spring. :0)
