I am grateful to Michael Edwards (Poet & Painter)
for permission to use \"SNOW\" which he posted
with his Poem \"Contagion\" yesterday ~ THANKS !
In a Flow Poem ~ each line must begin with the
last word in the preceding line. BUT it must not be
mere repetition ~ It must flow ! Because Poetry
is a discipline ! A BLANK VERSE FLOW SONNET
must have 14 lines and each line must also be
CO-SYLLABIC ! In this example each line has eight
syllables ~ iambic tetrameter. This makes it very
reciteable (try it !). Additionally the FIRST & LAST
WORD (HOME) must be identical ! In this Poem I
have capitalised the first & last word in each line
to emphasise that it is a FLOW POEM ! BRIAN XOX
