dVerse Poets

So yes you’ve guessed it….
The poetry theme for this MTB is to write a poem about a generic or particular:
Christmas tree(s) imagery, meanings, memories etc
or Conifer/Fir tree(s) imagery, mythology, memories etc 
2. The poetry style of your poem follows the form of an Etheree:
must be an unrhymed poem
no specific meter
one stanza only
10 lines with no paragraphs
graduating from 1 to 10 syllables 
[add lines 11 & 12 with just 2 syllables per line – my optional extra]
Thus the first line is monosyllabic; the second line has two syllables, and so on, until there’s ten syllables on the tenth line (then reverts to 2 syllables for lines 11 & 12 if you want this optional extra). The outline of your poem takes the concrete shape of a fir tree. Centre it on the page else left or right aligned it’s only half a tree! (X=syllables not words)

Oh

I could

Forever

Expound on trees

I grew up with them

They were my confidants

They listen without judgment

Every season changes views

From spring green to gold and vibrant reds

Evergreens have the scented beauty leaves

Most trees

Charming
