So day 2, b=Blitz poetry
The Blitz Poem, a poetry form created by Robert Keim.
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. For more details you could check out Shadow Poetry!

thank you Kim! I’m glad you liked it, it is an interesting form and the repetitiveness brings in a gud rhythm to it!! you shud try it someday 🙂
Thanks Meg, I think I would like to give it a try, I’ll do some googling and see what “rules” I need to apply to make it work.
please do!! there arent much rules except that it has to be repetitive and 48 lines long! but do take your time.. maybe you could do P = Poetry for A-Z 😉
When I read it was 48 lines plus I though OMGosh! but it was easy to read and I loved it! Thank you. Life Diet Health (A-Z 678 atow)
48 lines is indeed a long poem trust me, took me almost a day to get it done! 😕 but the repetitiveness and small phrases create a gud rhythm that makes it easily readable! 😀 thank you for visiting 🙂
