I had fun writing this poem for W3 challenge this week. I’ve never heard of this poetry form before. Blitz poem! See the guidelines below.
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
It sounds like a lot of rules, but once you get the hang of the rhythm it’s fun and fast-flowing!
For this week’s theme, allow your flow of writing to be guided by whatever you associate with the transition from summer to fall. Let the images and connections reflect that seasonal shift, even as the poem races forward with its own momentum.

II. Violet’s prompt guidelines
Choose a word from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and make it the title of your poem. Your poem should either use the word directly or capture the essence of its meaning. Include a direct link to the word’s page so readers can explore its definition and origin. Write in any poetic form you wish.
winter darkness gifts us with short days and long nights winter darkness an explosion of vast kindness luminous as the northern lights brings us joy and lights up our sights winter darkness
Pause Breathe in And breathe out Blank pages wait symphony of dreams giving form to the notes your faithful treasured freedom jotting down the impossible Smoothly guiding the pen through the lines "Pause, breathe in and breathe out, blank pages wait"
