You and I – B&P’s Shadorma and Beyond – Loop Poetry

Greetings from Paloma, and welcome to another B&P’s Shadorma and Beyond!

For this week I’d like to introduce you to the Loop Poem. This was featured as part of OctPoWriMo, where I discovered it through J Lapis at Dark Light Harbor.

‍Here are the guidelines:

1) No restrictions on the number of stanzas or the syllable count for each line;
2) For each stanza, the last word of the first line becomes the first word of line two,
the last word of line 2 becomes the first word of line 3,
and the last word of line 3 becomes the first word of line 4;
3) The rhyme scheme is abcb.

being with you is magic
magic as in worth living
living a dream forever
forever we grow old and ageing

love is happiness
happiness shared with you
you and I together
together we stick like glue

why is the sky so blue?
blue as the wavy sea
sea breeze and summer dream
dream as my love for thee
