Dying without reason Dying by destroying Destroying our environment Destroying our mammals Mammals were thriving Mammals of the past Past is gone Past predicts the future Future will be toxic Future belongs to the unborn Unborn are sickly Unborn have short lives Lives suffering Lives destitute Destitute fisheries Destitute fisherman Fisherman no longer work Fisherman no longer exist Exist on poisoned food Exist without hope Hope is fading Hope is a luxury Luxury is for the wealthy Luxury is absent Absent is clean water Absent is clean food Food sustains life Food is our fish Fish can’t be consumed Fish brings death Death is all around Death is coming Coming from polluters Coming from our rivers Rivers are trash bins Rivers are disappearing Disappearing marine life Disappearing ecosystems Ecosystems sustain lives Ecosystems struggling Struggling Planet Struggling creatures Creatures of the world cry Creatures of world need life Life needs a miracle Life needs the oceans Oceans full of poison Oceans full of plastic Plastic Poison Lines=50 Words=376 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. |
