Someone
Locked,
my heart
is locked with one
pure white daisy.
Which only can be picked
by that special someone.
One that can pick my old lock
without picking off the petals.
Never bruising that which I will give,
to who leaves my heart aglow with their love.

Author's Notes/Comments:
.
Poetic Form: Etheree
An Etheree has ten lines and no pattern of rhythm or rhyme.
Each line contains the same number of syllables as its line number.
There is also a reverse Etheree, which is the opposite of the above example
(first line contains ten syllables, second has nine, etc.)
and a double Etheree, which usually consists of an Etheree followed by a reverse Etheree.
