Not talking about the reindeer. I’ve done blitz poems before and I have found them to be more difficult than you might assume when you read the description. It’s a 50 line poem and no punctuation which appealed to me tonight… 3 hours ago. Why did this take three hours? I have no idea.

Read on, my friends:

Stop and Change

Stop to rest
Stop and meditate
Meditate for a minute
Meditate all night
Night falls early
Night and day
Day by day
Day of the dead
Dead battery
Dead end
End of the road
End of the line
Line by line
Line of fire
Fire in the hole
Fire it up
Up to the sky
Up and over
Over and over
Over the rainbow
Rainbow bridge
Rainbow colors
Colors of the world
Colors in nature
Nature calls
Nature renews
Renews itself
Renews your mind
Mind your step
Mind the master
Master a trade
Master of the house
House your collections
House your family
Family and friends
Family practice
Practice patience
Practice constantly
Constantly seeking
Constantly looking back
Back to the beginning
Back to life
Life lingers
Life finds a way
Way to go
Way to be
Be good to people
Be the change
Change 
People

So, here’s the thing… after popping this in the text block and rereading it, I actually like it more than I did when I initially finished it. The most interesting thing is how it reflects things I have written about in my journal and other places ver the last several weeks. That was not entirely intentional, but it happened. It makes sense. A blitz is really about what is on your mind. This is a tidbit of that for you to do with as you will

Cheers!
