A Writer's Need
An Etheree poem in reverse11 total reviews
Comment from dragonpoet
I like the use of rhyme in the etheree that tells the process of writing and what you want others to do with your well thought out words. I like how the quick description of what poetry contains, simple truths, is the only non rhyming line.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing.

A writers need is a good Ethree style. The words written seem to explain your inspiration for writing and thanks for not hiding but sharing. All the best

Hey, Kim, hello. Just wanted to say congrats on the 3rd place tying even though it seriously should have ranked higher. I, for one, don't think it's fair when the contest says 10 lines and piece with 20 lines still makes it to the top 3. But hey, it happens all the time. Love the picture. Besides writing, I like drawing and painting as well. The pic you chose is an excellent piece of artwork. I'm OK at it but nowhere near that good. Have a great night, Kim. Just wanted to say hi and congrats.
;)

Thanks, Ron. It always makes me smile when I find a note or review from you. I appreciate your support and all of your comments. In reading all the entries, it looks like the judging was all over the board in this contest. I do tend to agree with your thoughts, though, in that, if they are asking for one particular thing in a contest, then that is what the entries should be. I remember seeing a "Suite" of haiku win a contest once awhile back. I was thinking to myself... they asked for 17 syllables, not 3 or 4 stanzas. Clearly, it didn't stay with me, I can't remember what it was about, just that it happened lol
All the best! :)

Yeah, they had a Etheree contest that I entered once and the same thing happened with the 20 syllables. I cried to Tom about it making it past the committee's ruling and he pretty well told me, "Tough crap." Once a piece has made it to the voting booth there's nothing he's going to do about it so I just quit crying, lol.

Kim,
Congratulations on winning third in this contest, I"m looking at all the winners now... seeing what won... it really doesn't give me much of a sense on what they are looking for. :) lol (It never does) LOL
I enjoyed your 'read' though. ;)
Again, congrats!

Thanks, Cat!
I'm reading the other winners now, too! Clearly, I need a fancier font ;)
I think I'm with you, we'll probably not ever know exactly how they pick a 'winner'! lol It sure is fun to try, though. :)
Thank you so much!

To be really nit-picky, Kim, maybe just swap words around to, 'Written words which call me to peruse'.
Excellent reverse Etheree (very inspired of you) to describe writing and what inspires/attracts you to write/read it.
Good luck and best wishes, Ray xx

I enjoyed this reverse Etheree poem which is a very suitable format for expressing/emphasizing your theme: Read if you wish to write.
Interesting choice of rhymes, especially those using the -use sound.

Hi there,
I am becoming more familiar with the different forms of poetry now and have read a few Etheree pieces now, and this was a darn good one in my opinion. Neatly inverted, which draws the reader through at a good pace.
Nice one and good luck

Looks like an inverted nonet with an extra line. Ah, the intricacies of poesy.
Well, here I am, reviewing, with little learning( a dangerous thing.) Excellent.

Hi Red,
The Etheree is just an increasing or decreasing syllable with each line, for a total of ten lines. Thank you for a lovely review.
Kim
