Ah heck,
It really has been a while
Since I tried to string a swirl
Of lines that shouldn't connect
Like i've seen a humpback whale
Crashing through a concrete wall
But history shows I will
Try to spin them like a wheel.

Why are you mad about this?
Yes,
I loaned him the book you bought,
your inscription still to me,
wishing a happy birthday
and nothing else- the word “love”
over used further inside.

Bombs in a row descend like
stairs below an airplane door.
A red rug unrolls downward
– a carpet without magic.
A blue-suited man appears
at the door, waves and turns black.
The night this time may never end.

Each of seven syllables;
a poem of seven lines.
I wonder will it matter,
does the bastard have to rhyme?
It's like six partial haiku
or a tercet shouting loud
whoever picked this format should be lying in a shroud.

I appreciate the attention and time, the minimum was seven in case someone wanted the eighth line to have no syllables. So everyone did it kinda wrong but that's my fault... I loved them all thank you everyone for submitting! Duke's was spot on, great

Seven means the chariot
on which a triumphant prince
rides into his city, wets
the faces of the women with
tears -- the men who march behind
look around with hungry eyes
while the bellend blindly smiles.
