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. The rhyme scheme is abcb.

Example #3:
Picture Frame
Looking out at the
world from a picture frame
smile frozen in
time.. skin of porcelain
Eyes of green
meadows on a warm summer's day
auburn hair falling
cascades to disarray...
disarray like her
life
life changed this
young girl
girl with a past
past life..secrets
hidden
around the frame
wallpaper is faded
just like her life,
over...jaded
smile frozen in time
behind emerald eyes
there in a past
entwined with lies
Lies...there were
many
many
secrets..haunting
haunting her now
now re-living the
nightmare
Fear of a night she
would rather forget
so long ago still
she lives with regret
picture frame now
smashed, shattered glass on the floor
just like her life,
dreams are no more.
