Nicely done. For some reason - it made me thing of Les Miserables. The musicality of love and revolution dancing through your poem.

Something good to write. Something good to read.

Glad you had fun. I will be using this form if I ever just want to free a thought that is stuck, if I get writers block. It's like "fire in the hole!" Vicki introduced us to this. Like her energy. Have a good weekend. We're on fumes here, a week of my girl sick with a cold -- but the last bad bout she had was around Christmas so we are not doing too badly. September was awful....

Awesome and filed with possibility, Toots! Loving the flow and its energy. You got 99.9 % right -- the way the last two lines go (if I read that right on the internet) is that the last words of lines 47 and 48 become the only words on line 49 and 50. the last word of line 48 becomes the only word of line 49 and the last word of line 48 becomes the only word for line 50- the creator of this form did that intentionally http://voices.yahoo.com/poetic-form-blitz-5420951.html -- to hold the reader
