(For visually challenged reader, the image shows a person walking in a desert, dwarfed by huge sand dunes. A long line of their footsteps can be seen behind them)
The pleasure of seeing my footprints
Footprints in the sand from a distance
Distance from the vituperate world
World still with my existence
Each of us with ravelled story
Story that could be lull or playful
Playful with the swagger of my honey
Honey you’re so faithful
Carving of my name in the sand
Sand of life giving me clues
Clues which I can pinpoint
Pinpoint when I am feeling blues*

- 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.
