Thanks for visiting ~ Comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
An EDONE is the creation of the Surrealist Mind of Michael
Edwards ~ whom God preserve of Much Binding in the Marsh !
The simplicity of the form is beyond reason ~ BUT ~ It always
produces a very slender EL GRECO PYRAMID pleasing to the ear.
10 words vertically each a letter more than the former ~ AMEN !

Posted as promised - super write and feel honoured that you chose this form. Might have a go at registering the form with Shadow Poetry when I find a bit of time.
And 500 - congrats - I've got a long way to go to catch up not that I ever will !!!
Thanks MICHAEL ~ You are very quick off the mark this MONDAY ! Thanks for your comment and congrats ! I have now added a PAINTING (EL GRECO) and a word of explanation ~ please revisit ! As for the form ~ love it ! BRIAN
I think the name 'Edita' would fit the bill. Go on Brian give it a go.
Clever write Brian, congrats on 500 poems on the site.
Thanks ANDY ~ I'm no BRIAN LARA my highest cricket score was 121 when I was still at School ! My DAD was a great Cricketer so I was taught properly ! Thanks for your Congrats ~ Sorry I got sidetracked ~ any number between 100 & 500 always triggers my Cricket lobe ! Yours BRIAN ! Santita & I have started another FUSION on Drink (Alcohol or None~Alcohol ......... ?) please add a Poem ~ Thanks B.
I'm gonna be awkward! Has 'ephemeraly' got two L's? If it has, that's mucked things up! lol. A fine write, and a fine 500 poems! I'm gonna do 500 hymn-poems and sing them all. Meoowwoo! Oh no!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh STEVE the Sherry has made you an OLD FUDDY DUDDY (great medieval phrase) This is MODERN POETRY ~ All Capitalized ~ no Grammar ~ To Hell with Spell ~ I\'ve reported you to JULIAN (final warning) for being a DINOSAW ! (Like a JIGSAW only much much bigger !) However as its getting near CHRISTMAS you have a chance to redeem ! SANTITA and I have posted a NEW FUSION on DRINK ! \"Alcohol or Non-Alcohol ......... ? \" Mine is on Milk and SAN\'s on CAFFEINE reinforced COFFEE The FUSION desperately needs \"ODE TO SHERRY\" Thanks in anticipation ! By the way ~ thanks for congrats on 500 and appreciation of EL GRECO ~ despite the SPELLO ! Yours as always BRIAN
Nice poem and congrats on 500
Thanks BV ~ pleased you enjoyed the Poem. MPS is such a responsive site that reaching 500 was virtually stress free ~ thanks for your congrats ! I have a new FUSION on DRINK ~ please add a Poem ~ Thanks. You scroll down to FUSION and click on DEVELOPING to reveal the incomplete ones ~ YOURS BRIAN.
500 is awesome
Thanks WLS ~ I was born and raised in the Great Poetry tradition of Liverpool so for us writing ODES was a easy as writing PROSE. We were taught at School to appreciate and read and recite Poetry. We were introduced to Great Poets Like Shakespeare & Wordsworth & Keats & Burns and 20C ones like Betjeman and also classic poetic forms like Sonnets & Villanelles. For me MPS is like an Open university of Poetry. BRIAN Please check my poems and the Fusion on DRINK (click on DEVELOPING to see it ~ OK) ~ Thanks B.
Quite a milestone! Your 500th poem! And what a spectacular one at that! A fine example of an edone. Great job!! 500 hugs--Christina (Love the painting)
Thanks ANGEL 500 is a milestone ! However in this case the Painting is infinitely more beautiful than the Poem. For spatial reasons (you know how I love SHAPE Poems !) I decided to hilite EL GRECO in my EDONE ! Having written the Poem ~ I published it and then searched for a suitable El Greco painting. When i found his depiction of CHRIST and the CROSS ~ so gaunt and yet so resolute ~ I was bowled over by it ~ AWESOME ! You are very perceptive ~ thanks for hiliting ! Christian Cuddles ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@@
HI ANGEL ~ I have posted a new FUSION on DRINK ~ would love a CHRISTINA S to complement ~ MILKY HUGS ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@@@@@@@
Congratulations on the 500 and also on this fine Edone!
Thanks FRED I love the inevitable shape of an EDONE (very slim pyramid) it put me in mind of EL GRECO People Paintings ! The Picture and the Painting are complementary so a good candidate for No. 500 ! Yours BRIAN'
500 congratulations. We sure have geniuses here. Some create new format, some could write with a snap. I am still working on my edone, not sure when will get it done.
Thanks M & M ~ The EDONE naturally forms a slim PYRAMID ~ which screamed to me EL GRECO hence the 500th Poem ! However I needed a perfect EL GRECO Painting to illustrate and I found it ! The Painting complements the FORM & FUNCTION of the POEM ! Because I was raised in Liverpool ~ which has a great written an oral Poetry Tradition (Think John Lennon !) all I need is a Poetic Form and a Theme and my subconsciousness writes the Poem for me ! Yours BRIAN ~ Please check our latest B & S FUSION on Drink and add a Poem ~ Thanks B
