What is a thought?
What is not?
Not making a confession
Not impressed by expression
Expression that hides
Expression that guides
Guides my poetic heart
Guides my collective art
Art can attract
Art is abstract
Abstract like mankind
Abstract is the mind
Mind is no Gestapo
Mind is like Picasso
Picasso's pencil was gold
Picasso's palette was bold
Bold like Dali's drawn daydreams
Bold conceptual art extremes
Extremes of vibrant hues
Extremes that amuse the muse
Muse expresses your view
Muse reveals what is true
True atmospheric perspective
True verses reflective
Reflective Avant-Garde poetry
Reflective creative artistry
Artistry has a secret guise
Artistry intrigues the eyes
Eyes are an anonymous anatomy
Eyes are an expressionism alchemy
Alchemy creates aesthetic idealism
Alchemy is impressionism realism
Realism is seen in scriptures 
Realism changes with cultures
Cultures keep you believing
Cultures inspire word weaving
Word weaving helps spirits
Word weaving has no limits
Limits destroy creativity
Limits kill positivity
Positivity brings balance
Positivity ends silence
Silence is unsung
Silence needs a tongue
Tongue is not weak
Tongue needs to speak
Speak within papyrus poetry
Speak through vivid potency
Potency
Poetry


A form of poetry created by poet Robert Keim in 2008. It is a 50-line poem of
short phrases and images. The "Blitz" poem is well-named, as the fifty short
lines are read in rapid-fire fashion. “The form really relies on sound and
rapid "flow." ~Rob Keim.
Here are the rules:
Line 1 should be one short phrase or image (like “build a boat”)
Line 2 should be another short phrase or image using the same first word as the
first word in Line 1 (something like “build a house”)
Lines 3 and 4 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 2
as their first words (so Line 3 might be “house for sale” and Line 4 might be
“house for rent”)
Lines 5 and 6 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 4
as their first words, and so on until you’ve made it through 48 lines
Line 49 should be the last word of Line 48
Line 50 should be the last word of Line 47
The title of the poem should be three words long and follow this format: (first
word of Line 3) (preposition or conjunction) (first word of line 47)
There should be no punctuation, except for an ellipse after the final two words
in lines 49 & 50.


Blitz does not rhyme, but I wanted to challenge myself with one that rhymes.
