Rain,
Whispers
On rooftops,
Patterns in rhyme,
Singing symphony,
Melody so divine,
Earth embraces the sound’s grace,
Trees rustle to their rhythmic beat,
Clouds waltz with enchanting lightning,
Thunder raises the tempo, art unfolds.

Sky,
Dark coax,
Creating solace,
Rest for beings find,
Crickets chirp happily,
Sing a lullaby, soothe the soul,
Fireflies light the realm of dreams,
Where peace softly resides, cradled,
In the gentle arms of the night’s embrace.

Morning,
Comes after,
Rain’s dusty blue,
Teardrops on my face,
Pixie dust on scarred heart,
Trust, venomous bite purged out,
Spreading poison cleansed by the dawn,
A healing, cleansing light emerges,
Welcoming a new day, rebirth of hope.

Etheree poem contains 10 lines. The first line has a single syllable, and each line grows by one syllable until the tenth line has 10 syllables. I read Etheree poem for the first time on medium. This poem is my first etheree poetry.

The poem is about nature, I told a friend of mine that music is everywhere. being a lover of rain, I love the sound of the rain, and I love how the earth welcomed it. The sound rain made, and how it patterned with the roof is musical.

I also wrote about trust, how to trust someone you trust no more, and how to embrace change
