A Rare Chain Verse

A Rare Chain Verse
By Franklin Price
12/27/2015

A rare chain verse I'll try to write
Write writ in Byron's style
Style that is quite old and strange
Strange so this may take awhile

Awhile so I may think of words
Words I'll be putting down
Down upon this paper
Paper once a tree within the ground

Ground the tree into a slurry
Slurry dried into a sheet
Sheet on which to write my verse
Verse that's really quite a feat

Feat because it's not on paper
Paper not required for today
Today there are computers
Computers that remember what I say

I say this saves a lot of trees
Trees that refresh the air
Air we breathe to stay alive
Alive to write this chain verse rare

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2015 at 3:42 PM oh my, it was great fun to read your chain poem. I found it kind of humorous!! Especially the parts about paper and trees! Well, hope you had a great Xmas and will have a prosperous new year. Franklin Price December 27, 2015 at 5:08 PM It was supposed to semi tongue in cheek while letting the reader realize that computers actually are saving trees; especially now that the internet allows us to send most any paperwork without ever using paper. Hope you had wonderful Christmas also and will have a happy and healthy New Year.
