What a lovely poem. It follows the structure outlined by starkat, including the title! Normally I prefer poems that rhyme, and the structure of the blitz is such that it doesn't need to, but you made parts of rhyme, and that was enjoyable! I also found your topic amusing -- since the theme of the contest was "take a trip" -- you incorporated that theme well. I love trips of the imagination. That's what writing is all about, isn't it? :)

beautiful poem.

however....
The title must be only three words, with some sort of preposition or conjunction joining the first word from the third line to the first word from the 47th line, in that order.

    Well at least I got only 3 words in the title. . So technically the title should be -When Two Content
    You docking a whole star on a 50 line poem for that?
reply by shelley kaye on 31-Jul-2014
    technically your title should be:
    when [preposition or conjunction] content

    rules are rules

reply by the author on 31-Jul-2014
    Ok, When So Content

    Btw:
    The rule were also that it was to be about a trip. Other than the first few lines, yours was mostly about love.

    my first line was "take a trip".

    after the first line in a blitz poem, the poem goes to wherever the words take you lol

That's a cute statue. Such a nice poem. How we dream so innocently that young in life... Great visual imagery. Good work. Nice.

You follow this interesting form well
I like the way it flows and the stream of consciousness flow of thoughts
I like that this is more about traveling in one's imagination than about a specific trip, like to the shore

I enjoyed use of the Blitz form to share your stream-consciousness reflections about collaboration. Thanks for adding the parallel photograph as well. I especially liked the two senses of "map" and your alliteration of "f's". Best wishes in the contest from Costa Rica- Joan

Hi, Treischel
"Bench of Dreams" is a winner in my estimation. Good luck in the contest. I leave it up to your honesty to say you adhered to the writing promtp and the requirements of the form. It did have great rhythm and rhyme which I resonated to. It flowed delightfully. It is a dream vacation because only in a dream could such a trip happen so smoothly.

I really enjoyed reading this poem. I felt like I was sitting next to the children hearing their conversation about the trip they are planning. Great job and good luck with the contest.
