Epidemic (A-Z Blogging Letter E and OSI #162)

What
I’m Sick?
We All Are?
Epidemic?
This Just Cannot Be
I received all the shots
I took every precaution
This just cannot be happening
Especially not to me today
I just don’t have time to be sick like this
Caused by someone who didn’t vaccinate
They thought didn’t need to do it
Well now that a fine decision
Their careless disregarding
Made other people sick
What do we do now?
Epidemic
Too Late Now
Crisis
Death

E is for Etheree Form.
It consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables.
It can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

  2. Very interesting poetic form. So you wrote two etherees back to back, right? How fun. That must have been a big challenge.

  4. I never get flu shots, and am happy with my decision.

    But death.... now that may make me think twice.

    Hope you are well!
