A double etheree! Now according to your notes, a double etheree should have two lines of ten syllables in the middle but I see only one.
Lovely poem and enjoyed learning the phrase, "Anam Cara."

Yes, there does always seem to be one person, that special friend, who is always there when you need a shoulder to cry on, or just talk things out. No matter what they are doing, they will stop and come to your aid!
Love the poem!

What a heartfelt, pouring out of the soul, tear rolling poem. I could feel and reacted to your love for this soul mate, your friend. An honorable tribute, well respected show of true friendship. Lovely, just lovely

Your double etheree is well-composed, moving, and very descriptive. You have conveyed a powerful message about the power of real friendship,
a relationship that makes us better.

God's peace and friendship is like no other. Amazed at all the things God does for us. Forgiving us when sometimes we don't even forgive ourselves. Thanks for sharing

I have never attempted to write an Etheree poem before. I think I have seem them?

I enjoyed the Double Etheree.

My favorite line- "Your companionship is like a salve" - So strong!!

Hey, J. A double etheree is always a gem to read and particularly when dedicated to someone special in one's life.

It reads poetically and is a fine tribute to a soul friend.

Just one small and easily remedied issue:

You need another 10 syllable line between these two lines

Anam Cara, Soul Friend you never fail!
Your companionship is like a salve

and in your author notes:

Soul freind (friend) is a Double Etheree: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 9, 8, 7, (6) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

I was not familiar with the Celtic term Anam Cara so many thanks for bringing that information to me.

A most enjoyable read today and many thanks for sharing. :)

Gloria

There's a real earnest voice here, as the narrator pleads for that relationship of peace, in the soul friend. I liked how the format opened up and out and then closed back in on itself again. Very much like a prayer. estory
