4d β€’ ✍️ WRITE
Writers, a fun (and lyrical!) challenge for you…
I just came across Dictionary.com’s First & Final Word Poetry & Lyrics Challenge, and it’s too good not to share.
The concept: Write a short poem (2–5 lines) where the first and last word are the same. Any style. Let your creativity lead.
Here’s the one I submitted using the word Legacy:
πΏπ‘’π‘”π‘Žπ‘π‘¦ β„Žπ‘’π‘šπ‘  𝑖𝑛 π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘ π‘π‘Žπ‘π‘’π‘  𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑀𝑒𝑒𝑛,
𝑖𝑛 π‘Žπ‘™π‘™ π‘‘β„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘€π‘Žπ‘  𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘Žπ‘™π‘™ π‘‘β„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘€π‘Žπ‘  π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’π‘‘,
𝑖𝑛 π‘™π‘œπ‘£π‘’ π‘‘β„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘šπ‘Žπ‘–π‘›π‘  π‘‘β„Žπ‘œπ‘’π‘”β„Ž 𝑀𝑒 π‘π‘Žπ‘›π‘›π‘œπ‘‘ 𝑠𝑒𝑒...
π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘’π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿ π‘π‘’π‘π‘œπ‘šπ‘–π‘›π‘” π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘™π‘’π‘”π‘Žπ‘π‘¦
It really makes you think about how to begin and end with intentionβ€”just like a book.
