Peace in Pieces
The sky is falling send in the drones
no place to hide enough is enough
little by little show them who’s boss
hope slips away weak we are not
death is a gift they won’t soon forget
when life is pure hell bomb them to bits
mercy is madness mercy’s for losers
though some live to tell who haven’t a clue
darkness unending bleeding heart saps
no place to hide enough is enough
the sky is falling send in the drones

(NaPoWriMo 2017 #7 – Today’s prompt suggestion was to write something along the lines of “luck” and “fortuitousness”, but I’m afraid I didn’t have the heart for it.
A Cleave Poem – How to read a Cleave Poem (three poems in one) 1) read the Italic column top to bottom 2) Read the Bold column top to bottom 3) read each line across top to bottom)

I’ve never seen this done before, but I really like the display of opposite points of view on the situation!

Clever old you, writing a Cleave poem! I’ve never heard of it before. It looks kind of tricky. I’m always in awe of your willingness to try and expertise in embracing new forms of poetic expression. Well done, Kat, for another gem of a poem (or three)! 🙂 xo

Thanks Joy. I really like this form. Learned about it last year. If you manage to get three side by side columns then you can finish one, and then move to the other to complete the poem. I have found this is how I can make it work, rather than write every line across. Giving opposite themes makes it like a conversation.
