Michael Birchmore Poet Blitz

Answer Me This

Pain in the ****
Pain in the neck
Neck with a bolt
Neck that’s been wrecked
Wrecked on the sands
Wrecked on the beach
Beach all the boats
Beach beyond reach
Reach for the stars
Reach for the sky
Sky brilliant blue
Sky high for you
You matter to me
You always will
Will I matter to you
Will that be true
True to be honest
True to be told
Told of the answer
Told it is cold
Cold heart warm hands
Cold rubber bands
Bands of marriage
Bands of love
Love to love baby
Love to love love
Love is the answer
Answer me this
Answer this rhyme
Rhyme me a reason
Reason this time
Time never ends
Time is a clock
Clock on the wall
Clock doesn’t stop
Stop me and buy one     
Stop me don’t go
Go for another
Go really slow
Slow as a snail
Slow right ahead
Ahead you must go
Ahead or be dead
Dead right you can be
Dead certain you must
Must you, must I
Must we to be true
Sure is as sure loves
Loves
True

Jan Allison April 10, 2015 at 1:03 PM I love the flow of this blitz poem - I've seen it several times but never tired it myself - an excellent pen:-) Hugs Jan xx Michael Birchmore April 10, 2015 at 1:17 PM Thanks Jan. It was my first ever attempt at this style. Didn't know about it until today.
