Structure
Line Down
This is a style I created that depends on one line of poetry to begin .
Basically this form uses each consecutive word on the first line of the poem to the first word of every other line in the poem to its end .
My Examples
Coming Out Of The Cave
There was a man who lived in a dark cave
Was he hiding or was he in his grave ?
A saint or a hermit or a caveman .
Man had knowledge . He was part of a plan .
Who left the cave ? We did , before our birth .
Lived and loved just for a while here on earth .
In time we evolved and now we are here .
A spiritual world is ever so near .
Dark to the night and lost with insight .
Cave creatures coming back into the light .

I've got a special thing you can do with words. You take the first word in the dictionary and copy it. Then you do the same with the second, and continue until you get to the last. Then you put your sheets of paper between two covers, write 'Dictionary' on the front, then you sell it in Waterstones. I'm not sure why you do this, but you do. ;)

I have a great respect for the written word and obviously by the sounds of your comment you do as well . Oh please by the way could you tell me where Waterstones is ? I'm not sure why but who knows they might be worth a look . Eh ? (:-)
