On-Line Game
(A Blitz Poem) Play a board game Play on-line Line games draw you Line games rock Rock on electronics Rock the world World of Chaos World unlocked Unlocked images Unlocked loss Loss of effort Loss of time Time with family Time outside Outside interests Outside fun Fun that's active Fun that's free Free to share Fr ee for all All that said All that gone Gone inside you Gone for good Good for nothing Good for things Things internal Things that clash Clash in battles Clash of clans Clans with archers Clans with dragons Dragons fly Dragons burn Burn defenses Burn the walls Walls are broken Walls around Around bases Around camps Camps with armies Camps with troops Troops with wizards Troops destroy Destroy resources Destroy for gain Gain some trophies Gain winning play Play less violent Play board games |
I thought that the on-line game, Clash of Clans appropriate for a Blitz poem. I recently got hooked on this game, and now I'm obsessed. It is a Fantasy game with goblins, wizards, golems, dragons, witches, barbarians, wall breakers and such.
This is a Blitz poem.
Blitz Poem was created by Robert Keim and is a 50-line poem of short phrases and images. "Blitz" is a German word for "lightning" that infers meaning of fast. This poem has short fast lines. Often associated with a long, fast, deep penetrating attack that the Germans used during WWII called a Blitzkrieg. So, this is a fast paced, deep penetrating poem.
Here are the rules:
Line 1 should be one short phrase or image (like "build a boat")
Line 2 should be another short phrase or image using the same first word as the first word in Line 1 (something like "build a house") Lines 3 and 4 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 2 as their first words (so Line 3 might be "house for sale" and Line 4 might be "house for rent")
Lines 5 and 6 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 4 as their first words, and so on until you've made it through 48 lines Line 49 should be the last word of Line 48
Line 50 should be the last word of Line 47
The title of the poem should be three words long.
There should be no punctuation. Rhyming optional.
There are a lot of rules, but it's a pretty simple and fun poem to write once you get the hang of it. Basically you write two lines, and then take the last word of the second line to start the next two, except for lines 49 and 50.
