Hello again, dear Wordsmiths!
Remember Sunra Rainz’s delightful blitz poem, shared with us a few weeks ago? You may refresh your memory here.
She used the pattern of repetitions specified by the form to magical effect (especially as combined with particular words chosen from another source). It got me thinking about repetition – about both the music and the power that repetition can give our writing.
So this week I invite you to use repetition in your own writing – whether of words, phrases or sounds (e.g. the sound of a particular letter, or combination of letters). If you would like to try a blitz poem, please do! The instructions are here. But you may use any form you like, or none.

If you prefer to share something off-prompt, you may do that too.
Guidelines: new writing or old, poetry or prose, one post per person, and a maximum of 369 words.

Holiday Break
And now we're all going on holiday (at least from P&SU) for the next three weeks! We'll be back on January 6, when Magaly will see us into the new year with our next prompt: Reclaim, Rekindle, Rebirth.
We wish you Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukkah, a Blessed Solstice – or whatever you may wish to be wished. May we all have a peaceful and joyous time!
