Autumn and Fulfillment ...a Blitz poem

 Poetic Bloomings invites us to attempt the Blitz

The BLITZ was created by Robert Keim and is a 50-line poem of short phrases and images.
Here are the rules:

• Line 1 should be one short phrase or image (like “build a boat”)
• Line 2 should be another short phrase or image using the same first word as the first word in Line 1 (something like “build a house”)
• Lines 3 and 4 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 2 as their first words (so Line 3 might be “house for sale” and Line 4 might be “house for rent”)
• Lines 5 and 6 should be short phrases or images using the last word of Line 4 as their first words, and so on until you’ve made it through 48 lines
• Line 49 should be the last word of Line 48
• Line 50 should be the last word of Line 47
• The title of the poem should be three words long and follow this format: (first word of Line 3) (preposition or conjunction) (first word of line 47)
• There should be no punctuation

There are a lot of rules, but it’s a pretty simple and fun poem to write once you get the hang of it.

Time renders autumn

Time snuffs autumn

Autumn begins boldly

Autumn recedes coldly

Coldly the gale seethes

Coldly, the rain weeps

Weeps for lost hours

Weeps for lost love

‘Love endures all things’

Love hopes for spring

Spring is renewal

Spring is hope

Hope spawns comfort

Hope spawns thankfulness

Thankfulness spawns joy

Thankfulness yields happiness

Happiness is not a thing

Happiness is realization

Realization of God’s wonders

Realization of God’s grace

Grace for all ages

Grace for all mankind

Mankind is foolish

Mankind is forgetful

Forgetful of every-day mercies

Forgetful of every-day gifts

Gifts, not filling hands

Gifts filling hearts

Hearts need hope

Hearts need God

God is hope

God is love

Love is not a season

Love is immortal

Immortal purpose

Immortal power

Power to let go

Power to forgive

Forgive your enemies

Forgive your self

Self is a ruthless judge

Self craves affirmation

Affirmation of worth

Affirmation of love

Love is the universal need

Love is the universal fulfillment

Fulfillment needs love

Fulfillment needs God

Love

God

Initially, I thought this was going to be too hard, but it really is a 'blitz' of simply allowing word to lead...
