Challenge
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 on any topic. Challenge yourself with more than one verse if you like, 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
...Triple Etheree, Quadruple Etheree, and so on!

Beloved
Myrrh,
your voice
resinates.
Twines around me
in the warm darkness.
Whisps of you cling to me,
"like smoke, or cat hair" you say,
but I would never brush you off.
I treasure the perfume of your lips,
It burns as incense in my memory.
