Syllabic Verse
On my walk today, just across the way, I stopped to take this photo of a sign in my neighbor’s yard. Something very nice but unfortunately unusual to see nowadays.
A world of colors.
The world is full of color!
What color do you love?
When you have so many choices,
Why choose just one?
Choose color multitudes!
Look all around you,
As far as your eyes can see,
Manifold colors surround!

#OctPoWriMo Day 27 Prompt: Color
Broken crayons still color
Broken hearts still love
Color your world bright
Color is beautiful
Love everyone
Love never fails
Bright spots attract growth
Bright days attract smiles
Beautiful smiles
Beautiful thoughts
Everyone needs a smile
Everyone matters
Fails are bound to happen
Fails are opportunities to try again
Growth comes from fails
Growth often happens slowly
Smiles are free
Smiles are needed
Smiles are upside down frowns
Smiles lighten up the world
Thoughts spoken can cause regret
Thoughts unspoken can cause regret
Smile at life, you only get one chance
Smile at life and things will go better
Matters of the heart
Matters of the mind
Happen to all of us
Happen unexpectedly
Again and again and
Again and again
Fails are just one time errs not failures
Fails are a chance to try something new
Slowly time goes for those who wait
Slowly time goes for the lonely
Free yourself from doubts trust God
Free yourself from worry trust God
Needed people who are friendly
Needed people who care
Frowns compliment garments of gloom
Frowns are smiles upside down
World needs your love
World needs your smile
Regret steals happiness
Regret steals time
Chance offers new opportunities
Chance offers new life
Better life can be yours today
Better take a chance before it’s too late
Better
Better

#OctPoWriMo 2018
Whew! This is my first try at writing a Blitz poem! It was a challenge, somewhat confusing at times, and took me awhile but I enjoyed it and I will be trying this form out again! Info is below if you would like to try writing one.
The Blitz Poem, a poetry form 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 cliché. Begin the next line with another phrase that begins with the same first 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 2nd 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.

Love never ends.
It’s easy to love someone
Who also loves you
Someone who’s true
Who’s patient and kind
And of the same mind
It’s easy to love that someone
It’s not easy to love someone
Who doesn’t love you
Someone who’s untrue
Who’s impatient and unkind
And of a different mind
It’s not easy to love that someone
But Jesus said to love everyone
Even that someone
Who doesn’t love you
Who’s impatient and untrue
Of a different mind or unkind
Who’s arrogant and rude everyday
Who selfishly insists on their own way
Loving everyone is not easy, tis true
But it’s something Jesus told us to do
Rhyme
Jesus said: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,…” John 13:34
What 1 Corinthians 13 says about Love:
Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude
It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
