It is August and so Jane is doing : a chain of images each one suggested by the last word in the preceding poem. They’ll be short, a single image of just a few lines. It will be interesting to see where it ends up by the end of the month.
Kat will be doing short 3,4, or 5 line poems no syllable counts of rhymes, starting with the word ‘August’ on the first day. The last word of the poem will be the first word of day two’s poem, and so on until the end of the month.
Finally I shall be doing all types of poetry but each poem will start with the last word in the preceding poem.
Todays poem is a Villanelle
Break.
Break these chains that bind
Evil should never prosper
To suffering avert your eyes pretend your blind.
———-
Can we help eachother, be kind
Stop the wars and hate we foster
Break these chains that bind.
——–
All the poor upon our streets we find
We should help them not condemn.
To suffering avert your eyes pretend your blind.
———-
You need to open your mind
Reach out to foes and friends
Break the ties that bind.
——
Politicians the truth you need to find
And to the down trodden make amends
Don’t avert your eyes pretending you’re blind.
———-
Let’s rise up and join as one
To work as one ’til the four horsemen are gone.
Break these chains that bind
To suffering don’t pretend your blind.
