Poem: written in a new form. Pay attention to rhyme scheme to find the meaning of the story.

And so I saw my world today
To stray awhile with those I’d meet
Repeating laughs we shared before
Exploring what our neighbors hide

There at the corner of our street
We greet the scenic ocean shore
Imploring us to stride beside
The tide perhaps enjoy a dip

It didn’t seem like such a chore
Ignoring warning turn aside
Abide or else in rut you slip
A tip we should have listened to

Then all at once our minds did glide
Inside lost caverns we did skip
And flip around awhile to skew
Our view confounded and unwound

And then again there came this zip
A trip that brought me back anew
I knew my feet were on the ground
Astounded here I couldn’t stay

Form concept inspired by Shannon Farlouis
