poetry to make you hurl
Song of Hearts
Paint a story Paint a song Song of despair Song of jubilance Jubilance from nothing Jubilance from everything Everything is nothing Everything is all All for me All for you You are sunshine You are rain Rain brings sadness Rain brings growth Growth is green Growth is uncertainty Uncertainty makes questions Uncertainty makes answers Answers from within Answers from without Without you Without love Love ever present Love ever wonder Wonder at connections Wonder at distance Distance meaningless Distance immeasurable Immeasurable as sunbeam Immeasurable as eternity Eternity is forever Eternity is a blink Blink away tears Blink away change Change your heart Change your mind Mind your manners with lies Mind your feelings as truth Truth is uncertain Truth is known Known in the heart convinces Known in the soul connects Connects me to you Connects me to those Those who think with open eyes Those who think with open hearts Hearts that story Hearts that song Song StoryThis monstrous thing is a Blitz poem. I googled for something different. I proceeded to make such a silly thing. But there it is. My 3rd entry for #npm. Here’s the rules:
- Line 1 should be one short phrase or image (like “build a boat”)
- Line 2 should be another short phrase or image using the same first word as the first word in Line 1 (something like “build a house”)
- Lines 3 and 4 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 2 as their first words (so Line 3 might be “house for sale” and Line 4 might be “house for rent”)
- Lines 5 and 6 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 4 as their first words, and so on until you’ve made it through 48 lines
- Line 49 should be the last word of Line 48
- Line 50 should be the last word of Line 47
- The title of the poem should be three words long and follow this format: (first word of Line 3) (preposition or conjunction) (first word of line 47)
- There should be no punctuation
You may roll your eyes or hurl. I got no problem with that.

@SisterMae - thanks
@HereLiesNelsontheGreat - we need one of those.
I LOVE IT! Only you could do such a fantastic job Carrie. I am giving you the hurl mini, but seriously, I LOVE THIS. I might try it also.
@ZSA_MD - it was fun actually. just a lot longer than i usually write poems.
Reminds me of that game next to the crossword where you go from one expression to the next to end up at the target.
This is actually quite good, and an interesting exercise in stream of consciousness.
No hurling here, in fact I’m stealing the idea.
@Roadkill_Spatula - i like those kinds of puzzles. and this was fun to write.
(i look forward to reading your version)
@moniet - please do. i stole it.
@promisesunshine - I did…hahah and I’m thinking of one that might make ya’ll hurl, but it appeals to my libra sense of balance…if I can indeed write it.
@moniet - of course you can. !!
