Example Poem

Students were writing Etheree poems today, but we couldn't find a good example. Here's one we wrote in class:

Fall.
Autumn.
Colored leaves
Float gently down,
Jostled by the breeze.
Up and down they go, they
Dance in mid-air like tiny
Ballerinas in brightly hued
Dresses; bright orange, yellow, red. Colors
Take a bow as they descend to the stage.

Bitter chill gives way to a fresh season,
Something old, something new—déjà vu.
Characters return to play their
Roles with passionate fervor.
New blossoms take the stage,
Embracing the warmth
To act their parts,
Robed in green.
Spring-time.
Life.
