Another challenge and this one is tricky so, please follow the description.
Write a minimum of three, no more than six stanzas – four lines each. Except for the first stanza ... each of the following stanzas must have the last word in each line start the next line, this is commonly known as Loop Poetry. The winner will receive the “Loop" Award Certificate. I will start this off so you can see exactly what I'm describing and be sure you tag me in the comment box this way: @Danceinsilence, otherwise I may not know you entered

Stanza-counter

Six stanzas in a line

Line up for me to see

See, stanzas standing in a line

Line up ten times for me

The first line is already done

Done well and brownish gold

Gold as a perfect summer sun

Sun summer days of old

Oh how I wish I had a second

Second stanzas are so hard

Hard and rocky the trail beckons

Beckons though I’m on my guard

Third times the charm and so I reckon

Reckon third is the smarter path

Path beckons to me as I step in

In the eye of incurred wrath

Four stanzas down, two more to go

Go back up to see the count

Count the lines but even so

So many more to go

Oh wait hold on I got it wrong

Wrong number of stanzas to write

Write one more stanza about the song

Song done now I can sleep at night!
