POEM STARTER
Write an Etheree poem on any theme you like.
An Etheree is a ten-line poem where the first line has one syllable, the second has two, and so on up to ten syllables (or this structure in reverse).
Broken Knives
Knives grind away at my offensiveness,
The jagged stone of edges that make me.
It chips away at everything.
And I let it; I need to.
I hurt myself for you.
Fix my broken mess,
The knives that grind,
Until there’s
Nothing
Left.
No.
I can’t.
Nothing left.
I’ve become numb.
Someone please help me.
I’ve forgotten myself.
A slate of who I once was,
Wiped clean by your hands, or my own.
I’ve destroyed myself to appease you.
But in the end, you still couldn’t care less.
