A chapter in the book Luna's Form Poetry

Inside a teardrop

by Luna


To Mickey, with love.
Raining cats and dogs
Raining stopped inside
Inside your head
Inside the words
Words inspire stories
Words spark imagination
Imagination is fertile
Imagination peaks
Peaks and valleys
Peak of illumination
Illumination enlightens
Illumination bright
Bright starry sky
Bright twinkling light
Light brigade
Light speed
Speed to conclusion
Speed is dangerous
Dangerous situation
Dangerous creature
Creature takes control
Creature threatens mankind
Mankind brainstorms
Mankind petitions wizard
Wizard is helpful
Wizard saves the day
Day looks new
Day is cheerful
Cheerful people
Cheerful fairies
Fairies aren't scary
Fairies assist angels
Angels walk with us
Angels in streetclothes
Streetclothes tattered
Streetclothes torn
Torn beyond repair
Torn into pieces
Pieces of hope
Pieces that glisten
Glisten with happiness
Glisten with joy
Joy to the world
Joy is emotion
Emotion means feelings
Emotion makes teardrop
Teardrop escapes eye
Teardrop wets cheek
Cheek
Eye

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 cliche. 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.
