The Blitz Poem
(introduction by Alicemorris7)
The Blitz Poem is a poetry form created by Robert Keim.
I believe the Blitz is a fun poetry form, and as you write it it tends to take its own course and ends up writing itself.
The rules for the Blitz are quite simple
There are 50 lines to a Blitz,
The first two lines begin with the same word;
(eg.) Kiss me quick
Kiss me slow
Then the next two lines begin with the last word of the second line and so on for 48 lines. Then the 49th line is the last word of line 48 and the 50th line is the last word of line 47.
The title is also restricted.
The first word of line 3 is the first word of the title and the first word from line 47 is the last word of the title.
You then can add a word in between to connect the two.
It sounds harder than it is trust me, the idea of the blitz is to keep the lines short so it's quick to read and you shouldn't use any punctuation.
Here is an example of a Blitz I have wrote
MOON OF HOPE
(Alicemorris7)
light of the sun
light of the moon
moon so bright
moon so full
full of hope
full of dreams
dreams come true
dreams of you
you running free
you running to me
me who waits
me who cares
cares for you
cares for life
life is precious
life you don't know
know I'll help
know I'll be there
there to hold you
there to listen
listen to your fears
listen to your tears
tears of fears
tears of sadness
sadness holds you
sadness your prisoner
prisoner of war
prisoner of illness
illness has taken you
illness haunts you
you have to fight
you can fight
fight for life
fight the demons
demons of darkness
demons in your head
head for the light
head to be free
free to run
free to live
live for you
live for me
me you together
me you forever
forever in my heart
forever I hope
hope of happiness
hope of a future
future
happiness
