The Lure


An attempt of Ethere, a form of poetry written in ten lines, with each line accomodating the number of syllables as its line number.


A                                                                               
Dash of 
Blush cluster
On dimpled cheeks
His looks sensuous
Bated breath loquacious
Of bait, his defiant charm;
Breeze sultry, sprinkling pearly drop
On chiseled face, it trickles down
Melting to specks beneath sauve gliding touch. 

                                                                   **********

Another one : 

Books 
They smell
Of dust speckle
Engraved grey
Amidst tangled words
In its swooping sly waft
Hauled into mystic depths
Of love, truth, fear and fantasy, 
The many resplendent emotions
I succumb to lure - my retribution.

                                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    1. Does look simple isnt it ? I did rack my mind for sometime before coming up with this one :) The haiku frenzy was of some help tackling the syllable rule . .
