Fountain of Youth Fountain of Spring Spring of blooms Spring of Storms Storms are powerful Storms are dangerous Dangerous wildfires Dangerous wildlife Wildlife being born Wildlife roars Roars to the heavens Roars like a kitten Kittens are cuddly Kittens love Love hurts Love heals Heals open wounds Heals broken hearts Hearts racing Hearts embracing Embracing life Embracing my wife Wife is my warmth Wife is my soul Soul of nature Soul of songbirds Songbirds singing Songbirds bathing Bathing in the sun Bathing babies Babies being born Babies cry Cry of humanity Cry for change Change of weather Change of mind Mind is powerful Mind is creative Creative images Creative art Art is nature Art is beauty Beauty is all around Beauty breathes Breathes in air Breathes in life Life struggles now Life will end End Now Lines=50 Words=136 From the Author: This form of poetry is a stream of short phrases and images with repetition and rapid flow. 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. |
