Wordsmiths have access to a plethora of words
Words which we weave creatively into poems
Poems are our vehicle to articulate meaning
Meaning gives our life worthwhile purpose
Purpose provides a focal point for our effort
Effort is vital for all achievements, our goals
Goals are healthier when aligned to core values
Values guide us as we eliminate use or abuse
Abuse must cease at every possible level
Level heads organically guide our growth
Growth is essential to improve ourselves and our life
Life is awareness of breathing, living in the now
Now is being in the present, confronting gain and pain
Pain is a test teaching us that we can conquer all!

A different feel to this one, flows well each line folding into the next one, and makes such a good point for us all.

Okay…I just typed this “poem where last word of a line is the same word that begins the next line” and found links to “chain verse poetry”…like this link…
http://poetscollective.org/poetryforms/chained-verse/
Their description of the form seems more detailed and requires more than just the last word of a line beginning the next line.
Another link said this: Chain Verse is one of those forms like the Anacreontic verse that did NOT survive the middle ages. Chain verse has two known forms: (#1) one repeats the last word of a line with the first word of the next line, while the other repeats the last line of each stanza with the first line of the following stanza (#2). The structure is multiple stanzas, primarily quatrains.
Hope this helps! 🙂

OH! I love this, Kate! GREAT poem!
Thanks for giving this a whirl!
I don’t know if this is an actual form of poetry…or it’s name…but, like I shared with you, I just wrote it in that form and enjoyed doing it!
I guess I should take a poetry class and learn something. Ha. But, I’d rather just write poetry my way and not learn about how deficient my poems are! 😉 *snort* 😀
HUGS!!! 🙂

Brilliant Kate. I never knew such a form existed in poetry. I once wrote a similar poem.

I agree with all the value you find in words. For some of us, I guess they are our main means to that education that comes from within.
