Love/Hate (double Etheree)

by Keanna Hopkins

Love
Thought of
Cant be taught
Easily caught
Involves two hearts keys
Sometimes unwillingly
Sacrifices help loves bliss
Flirtatious with passionate kiss
Hunted and wanted by all around
Some may not be happy till this is found

Fire inside, burning the broken heart
Loathe and betrayal rips them apart
Jealousy springs, out of nowhere.
Hurtful thoughts, paranoia
Memories left behind
Good times pushed from mind
Angers notion
Takes motion
Too late
Hate

I took Bob Shanks idea and I thought I would try a Double Etheree.

The poetry form, Etheree, consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
syllables. Etheree can
also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Get creative and
write an Etheree with
more than one verse, but follow suit with an inverted 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

Thanx Bob Shank!
