the 10 of 12 given words:
elsewhere enough exact entry
emulation ((n.) jealous rivalry)
ethereal (extremely delicate or refined) 
edge erase 
exoteric ((adj.) suitable to be communicated to the general public
easement (something that gives ease; a convenience)

elsewhere seems a picture of emptiness
enough to endure but lacking of pleasure
exacting into realms of powers of fondness
for entry into an exclusive club of leisure

emulation of a rare mermaid's gambit
ethereal beauty of exquisite measure
in its wonder for affections' exquisite
with images of a dashing paramour

sitting on edge unsure since morning
exoteric in its quest for quiet protection
likely to erase any pretenses delimiting
for easement of attracting attention

  3. Have to watch the attention you get and receive

  4. That beginning sets the tone perfectly — elsewhere is something to be desired only from a distance. I really like how you have used the e-words in such a free-flowing manner — they sound a natural part of the poem. Very well-penned, Hank! :-)

  5. the distance holds the chimera-like promise! mirage for some, is always more tantalizing and promising than reality .... but nothing ventured, nothing gained, unless forearmed and warned.

  6. A beautiful and richly textured poem. The beauty you describe is definitely other-worldly

  10. Good play with words, capturing the essence of that image: "a picture of emptiness...lacking of pleasure".

    Oh...how we love words!

  12. I like your use of the "rare mermaid", that is up to use to piece together exactly what that means. One thing is she eats up a lot of "E" word hints.
