Carol Anne’s prompt guidelines

This week’s challenge is to write a blitz poem! Here’s how it works:

  • Line 1: one short phrase or image (example: build a boat)
  • Line 2: another short phrase or image, starting with the same first word as line 1 (build a house)
  • Lines 3 & 4: each begin with the last word of line 2 (house for sale, house for rent)
  • Lines 5 & 6: each begin with the last word of line 4, and so on — keep repeating this pattern until line 48
  • Line 49: just the last word of line 48
  • Line 50: just the last word of line 47
  • Title: three words long, in the format (first word of line 3) (preposition or conjunction) (first word of line 47)
  • No punctuation

  1. I like the way your blitz weaves from “memory journal” to “poor judgement” and back around again! Christine, it feels like a full circle of thoughts spiraling into each other, with a nice rhythm to the flow. ❤
