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

Lchantelp in Poetry & Free Verse

I set my eyes upon the darkness

I felt its never-ending gloom

I wallowed in its sorrows

I drank from its vacant spoon.

I stepped into it gladly

Gladly it took my hand

Hand in hand we walked in silence

Silence showed its full command.

Commanding all that was in me

Me to weak and vulnerable to see

See the good behind me

Me in darkness we’re now Queens.

Queens of dark and tortured people

People too fragile to find their way

Way to crawl out of the silence

Silence would not reflect the light of day.

Day is bright and warm

Warm brings comfort to the soul

Soul feeds on what is given

Given to us all.

All of us are wanting

Wanting to feel the warm bright sun

Sun that fills the darkness

Darkness that consumes the human soul.
