Spire

Suppose I spin
summit rejuvenatement
reverberate insanely
peek into everland
see paradise
enlightenment
stop spinning
rest in peace
irrevocably
stop

Written for dVerse where Bjorn presents us with quite a challenge – to write a poem using the following rules: 1) Select a title of one word containing not more than 3 vowels and 3 consonants. 2) Try to find as many words that are using only the letters in the title. 3) Combine this into a poem of your own. 4) Do not use any punctuation in the poem. The rules comprise a poetic form created by Canadian poet Christian Bök known for his experimental work. “Rejuvenatement” is a word I created when I rejuvenated (never say re-tired).

    Hello Lillian, I think you misunderstood the prompt….

    You are only allowed to use the words that are formed by the letters in the one-word title (you can use them as many times as you want
    For instance repressers, pepper and ripper, but not spin for instance.

      So sorry Bjorn! Feel free to delete from Mr. Linky. I wondered why I found it so easy to do this!!! Because I did it wrong 😦
