Time Changed Words

Time Changed Words

Olden days
Days so golden
Golden then
Then not at all
All wish them so
So wished away
Away in time
Time was quite lost
Lost daydream style
Style your hair
Hair style is new
New slim fit blouse
Blouse blue is mind
Mind your step
Step two at a time
Time won't stop
Stop standing still
Still I did fear
Fear strange new days
Days after days
Days traveled past
Past my dates
Dates time words
Words not distilled
Distilled new words
Words now renewed
Renewed words mimed
Mimed well this time
Time blink blinks
Blinks twice then waits
Waits a few minutes
Minutes pass fast
Fast paced life
Life still goes on
On and on
On a roll
Roll out change
Change changes words
Words you did say
Say stay in line
Line up your mouth
Mouth just good things
Things might change
Change the past
Past changes sight
Sight softens views
Views not the same
Same things so true
True words spoken
Spoken gently
Gently does it
It can work
Work it out
Out damned spot
Spot the difference
Difference is just that
That love is kind
Kind loves kind words
Words changed by time
Time in the present
Present time changes words
Words should be golden
Golden not Olden Days.

Has a note saying it's "Chain Verse" (Not sure?)
Seems similar to Blitz format.

Karen Jones Date: 2/9/2024 2:11:00 AM Cool and interesting thoughts! Seems like blitz but I am no expert on form. Login to Reply Aqua Marine Date: 2/9/2024 4:48:00 AM I found it recently, but it was written a few years back... I might try "translate" it into blitz format... When I first came to Poetry Soup, it was like being introduced to "Panoramic Poetry" and realising that, even though I seemed to have a natural feel for poetry, the way to express thoughts and feelings, ideas and meanings, was now limitless, where I had been a bit "narrow minded" I must say, I felt overwhelmed at first. I'm still loving playing with forms and words. (((Warm Hugs)))
