I summon you, the beasts of war
war mongers, bullish hawks
hawks, peddling thunder
thunder of cannon echoes
echoes cross the valley
valley of blood and anguish
anguish and sorrow stalking
stalking the hallways
hallways of power
power for peace
peace as a summons
summons to all nations
nations united against the beasts
beasts of wars
Using Dylan’s mlmm’s first line Friday “I summon . . . ” as the starting point, I attempted to write a loop poem which is the mlmm’s Saturday Mix’s “lucky dip” this week.
“Loop Poetry is a poetry form created by Hellon. There are no restrictions on the number of stanzas nor on the syllable count for each line. In each stanza, the last word of the first line becomes the first word of line two, last word of line 2 becomes the first word of line 3, last word of line 3 becomes the first word of line 4. This is followed for each stanza. There is an optional rhyme scheme of abcb.”
