"The blitz poem, a form of poetry created by Robert Keim.
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 cliche. Begin the next line with another phrase that begins with the same 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 second 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."
Now that that's over, here goes:
__________________________________________________________
Scared to go
Scared to leave
Leave my home
Leave and be free
Free to roam
Free to fly
Fly far away
Fly somewhere
Somewhere new
Somewhere unknown
Unknown life
Unknown the people
People hopefully nice
People I'll despise
Despise the place
Despise this feeling
Feeling of dread
Feeling of change
Change may be good
Change I hate
Hate to leave
Hate and grief
Grief for loss
Grief for love
Love of friends
Love is lost
Lost my world
Lost my will
Will to live
Will to strive
Strive I will
Strive to achieve
Achieve my goals
Achieve my dream
Dream to be
Dream to do
Do much good
Do the best
Best in my line
Best of luck
Luck decieves
Luck I need
Need the courage
Need to go
Go from home
Go forever
Forever is long
Forever I go
Go
Long
