Welcome to the Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip, 17 July 2021!
For this week’s Lucky Dip, I have reached into my mystery bag and pulled out a Loop Poem. The topic is up to you!
You may be thinking to yourself, What on earth is a Loop Poem?
Luckily, Shadow Poetry has an explanation…
Loop Poetry is a poetry form created by Hellon. There are no restrictions on the number of stanzas nor on the syllable count for each line. In each stanza, the last word of the first line becomes the first word of line two, last word of line 2 becomes the first word of line 3, last word of line 3 becomes the first word of line 4. This is followed for each stanza. There is an optional rhyme scheme of abcb.
Loop Poem Example “Bloody Eyes”
Bloody eyes..watching..waiting
waiting in gloomy shadows
shadows of night
night so…still
still they watch, still they wait
wait for you
you..the next victim
victim of evil
evil that lurks
lurks in silence
silence then…screams
screams…then silence
silence of night
night of shadows
shadows of gloom..waiting
waiting…watching
watching..bloody eyesCopyright © 2009 Hellon
