The Blitz Poem

The Blitz Poem is a poetry form created by Robert Keim.

I believe the Blitz is a fun poetry form, and as you write it it tends to take its own course and ends up writing itself.

The rules for the Blitz are quite simple

There are 50 lines to a Blitz,

The first two lines begin with the same word;

(eg.) Kiss me quick

Kiss me slow

Then the next two lines begin with the last word of the second line and so on for 48 lines. Then the 49th line is the last word of line 48 and the 50th line is the last word of line 47.

The title is also restricted.

The first word of line 3 is the first word of the title and the first word from line 47 is the last word of the title.

You then can add a word in between to connect the two.

It sounds harder than it is trust me, the idea of the blitz is to keep the lines short so it's quick to read and you shouldn't use any punctuation.
