 |  Blitz poem based on an image prompt. Dark Dreamscapes contest entry (August 2014). |
Dressed in black Dressed in red Red lips Red cloak Cloaked in darkness Cloaked in shadow Shadowy motives Shadowy face Facing uncertainty Facing danger Dangerous liaisons Dangerous paths Paths through the woods Paths into the unknown Unknown destinations Unknown questions Questions unasked Questions in need of answers Answers about who we are Answers about why we are who we are Are we ready Are we prepared Prepared to take the road less traveled Prepared to venture into the dark Dark thoughts Dark dreams Dreams of pleasure Dreams of pain Pain over past wrongs Pain over present faults Faults in ourselves Faults in others Other roads Other chances Chances to redress Chances to repent Repent for our choices Repent for our sins Sins of our fathers Sins of our own Own our mistakes Own our decisions Decisions to travel down long dark paths Decisions we foolishly pursue without looking back Back to brighter days Back to days without regret Regret for our own darkness Regret for our own transgressions Transgressions... Darkness... ------------------------------ (50 lines) Blitz Form: Begin with one short phrase, it can be a cliché. Begin the next line with another phrase that begins with the same first word as line 1. The first 48 lines should be short, but at least two words. The third and fourth lines are phrases that begin with the last word of the 2nd phrase, the 5th and 6th lines begin with the last word of the 4th line, and so on, continuing, with each subsequent pair beginning with the last word of the line above them, which establishes a pattern of repetition. Continue for 48 total lines with this pattern, And then the last two lines repeat the last word of line 48, then the last word of line 47.The title must be only three words, with some sort of preposition or conjunction joining the first word from the third line to the first word from the 47th line, in that order. There should be no punctuation. When reading a BLITZ, it is read very quickly, pausing only to breathe. Entry for "Invalid Item"  (August 2014). Image Prompt: ** Image ID #2003102 Unavailable ** |
