The Pillow Case

Thanks to Lovely Annie, I discovered a new poetic form this morning: the etheree. An etheree is a poem with ten lines, with an additional syllable for each line. It starts with one syllable and ends with ten. I love playing with new forms and had to try this one out. Here is my all-too-autobiographical account.

The Pillow Case

So

I sew

the pillow

case. The whir whir

blur of the Kenmore's

pace makes the needle jab,

the needle stab, the thread grab

the fabric, a cambric, candent

and delicate, so delicate it

can't handle the tread of the thread and shreds.
