List Poems

A lot of people don’t know what a list poem is. Let me explain it.

A list poem is a sequence of words, each one somehow linking to the next.

It doesn’t have to make sense to the reader.

Any amount of words.

The catch?

The first and last word have to be the same.

So, here are two examples for you.

Enjoy.
