Blown soft against the gentle bloom
Bloom of the most, tender of white
White fluff to fly, upon the winds
Winds soft under, warm summer nights
Nights just like this, where clouds are naught
Naught like true love, thought ne’er to find
Find just for her, but now she feels
Feels of that chance, once deemed declined
Declined to ones, money denied
Denied like her, of lower class
Class of poor – she, he – class of clout
Clout that declares love of the lass
Lass who now dares, to dream of life
Life like only, the rich have known
Known not by her, she felt ‘till now
Now with the prayer, she’s gently blown

Today’s form? Chain Verse
Chain verse has two known forms: one repeats the last word or syllable of a line with the first word or syllable of the next line, while the other repeats the last line of each stanza with the first line of the following stanza.
While not required, I created a complete chain where the last word of the poem is also the first word.

The chain is so effective in giving the message of the poem… we do live in a world where all is not fair…
I loved this – It was excellent. I read it twice, I liked it so much.
This is so delicate, it bids me to step lightly. Beautiful
Oh, i do like this form – thank you for sharing it. You have such a way with words!
Such an inspiring form and brilliant execution of it too 😀
Beautifully done, Raivenne 🙂
Lots of love,

That is some challenge to chain the words from one to the another ~ I like to fly like a dandelion on a summer night ~
The chain form was effective, strengthening the meaning with each line. The dandelion was an excellent conceit!
Very fun form and above all the topic. I love dandelions–they make me smile…all the while the husband works furiously to eradicate them from our lawn.
I love dandelions in their bright yellow form, and then the joy of blowing the parachutes.

Wonderful.
Love this! Will have to try a “chain poem” myself. I didn’t notice the last word “matching” the beginning of the poem but felt it intuitively — that circle round, that sense of complete — and then read that you’d done this. So the sense of the poem shines through rather than the form — and that’s a very good thing! 🙂 Enjoyed a lot!
Very effective! Good form in this. But I do like the dandelions – I have an area of my lawn dedicated to them, white and red clover, and a few other weeds enjoyed by the butterflies and bees.
This is beautiful. I love how you ended it with the word that started the chain, making it a full circle.
