I once wrote a poem that had one word on each line, accumulating from one to ten all the way, and only after discovered that 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 makes a perfect 55-word story. Love these kinds of challenges -- and great to see something a wee bit different here.

Let us say it celebrates and supports stutterers worldwide. Like poetry's answer to "The King's Speech". Shall I be the Colin Firth of poetry or the Geoffrey Rush?

But this one starts with a fragment.<br /><br />Very compelling, perhaps more so because of the first word in both stanzas being different. I would like to call it a 'stutter poem', but that isn't a very complimentary name.PSCottierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090061154453187758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812366260875678630.post-24918209237377148832013-03-20T17:10:55.571+13:002013-03-20T17:10:55.571+13:00Nice.
