POEM STARTER

Adelaide T. Everett

Write a poem that starts each new line with the last word of the last line.

For example: I love you so,

So I have to go.

Spin, Around, Side To Side

_(The song starts off with a slow waltz in F)_ _(Do—dada—Do—dada—Do—dada—Do—dada—Do, [repeat])_ The world continues to spin Spin, without a whim Whim—it says—shaking its head Headed to wherever it goes Going to goes, to sunshine road Road, a road where people die Die, with peace, licking others feet Feet swinging from side to side Side to side Si-i-ide to side Side to side Si-i-ide to side _(Do—dada—Do—dada—Do—dada—Do—dada—Do, [repeat])_ I watch them twirl with the world World-ing their ignorance, close Closer than their mind Minding not a single thought Thought—no think—they only see Seeing what they want Wanting only gets them so far Far in would that spins and spins— Around, around A-a-around Around, around A-a-around Around—side Side—around Around—side Side—around **STOP** _(There is no sound except the whispering of Tone)_ I’m sick of it—hearing— Hearing all this ignorance! Ig-ignoring their children’s cries Crying they lie! _(Oh! I’m—)_ Lying down Lying down Lying down Lying down Down so I don’t see them!— **(WALTZ APPEARS AGAIN! MORE TONES JOIN.)** Spin and spin around Around from side to side Side to side; around, around Around, around—spin-spin-spin-spin-spin-spin _(The Tones start to giggle uncontrollably)_ _(La, La,_ _La, La)_ _(La, La,_ _La, La)_ _(La, La,_ _La, La)_ _(A child scream wails across the song, ceasing everything)_ _***_ _Listen, I don’t even know what I wrote. _
