The Etheree

The etheree is a poem with ten lines. The first line has a one syllable word; the second line has two syllables; the third line three, etc., and finally the tenth line has ten syllables. It was invented by Etheree Taylor Armstrong, an Arkansas poet. A double etheree goes one to ten and then ten to one. So here's my crack at it:


You and Your Double Etheree

You,
You jerk,
You moron,
You idiot,
You ignoramus,
You empty-headed ass,
You illiterate meathead,
You ridiculous stumblebum,
You stupid, worthless human being
You and your stupid, ugly etheree.

This is not what an etheree should be.
An etheree must be poetry.
An etheree should be lovely.
It should be filled with wonder.
It should truly inspire.
It should be graceful.
And not complain,
Nor attack,
You dope,
You.
