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. _
