Yesterday I checked in on a blog that is becoming a favorite — Cool People I Know. Little Purple Cow (aka Stephanie) had posted a poem in a form called etheree. (It’s a focus on syllables. Each line gains a syllable until you reach the last line of 10.) Her poem inspired me to write one too. Here’s to trying new things.
Concrete Love
Love
is a
feeling, yes.
But action too.
I know this because:
Car warmed each morning;
Wood stacked by the fire;
Tea made to perfection each day;
The kitchen cleaned during bath time.
Are concrete reminders that he loves me.
Curious to learn more about etheree? Check out Cool People I Know & follow the links Stephanie offers.
Poetry Friday is being hosted by Becky at Farm School.

Hey this is my kind of poem! I love the photos too. Thanks for the link. I’ll be trying this form myself soon.
That’s a great poem! I know the etheree was named after the woman who created it, but I’ve not yet tried one.
Yours is spectacular.
That’s just lovely. Here’s to Concrete Love! Etheree is completely new to me. We gave Fibs a try with good results, so I’m looking forward to trying etheree with my kids. Not to mention some concrete love tokens…
Great to see your poem! And yes, here’s to trying new things. What a lovely blog you have here.
Enjoyed reading your poem. Thanks for sharing and connecting with me.
What a fun new poetry form! Great poem, too! (Wouldn’t want one without the other…)
I’ve never heard of this form before. Fun! I enjoyed your poem and the person behind it:>) Thanks.
I love your poem! I am going to have to try it! Thanks for sharing and for letting us know about the blog you got it from.
