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. _
