with no words to write (Free verse) by nentwined
with no words to write, I'm writing a poem a psalm of remembrance for words that once were spun wholecloth from ethers, the ethereal nothing and embroidered with thoughts I can't grasp.

Down the ladder: I must be out of my mind

spun wholecloth from ethers, the ethereal nothing

Singular "ether" maybe?

Your last line--the change in rhythm--seems to fall flat.

I like the idea of this a lot, just needs some refining, I think.

maybe without the "and" in the last line?

yeah. 'ethers', the more I look at it, fails somehow. maybe 'embers' would work. that ties in lost things, and a touch of fire which I always love... :)

Hm, only thing that makes me twitch is that 'can't'. I think it would have a better ring to it if spelled 'cannot' Otherwise, it's lovely ^_^!

interesting. the flow of can't -> cannot makes the last line match the others more closely. I hadn't thought of trying that. Thanks. :)
