All on the Summer's Day - NaPoWriMo Day 8

All on the Summer’s day

They walked under the sun

The bright sun beat down

All on the summer's day

They climbed the hill

No clouds in the sky

All on the summer's day

Their Legs ached

And Lungs bursting

All on the summer's day

Coats off, jumpers off

Suncream and hats on

All on the summer's day

Fun and laughter

Picnics and games

All on the summer's day

At the top, the wind blows

The sun's gone

All on the summer's day

The rains come

Coats back on

All on the summer's day

Clouds dropped

Visibility gone

All on the summer's day

Lost, confused

Cold and wet

All on the summer's day

No fun now, it’s gone

Just fear and danger

All on the summer's day

Write a poem that relies on repetition. It can be repetition of a phrase, or just a word. Need a couple of examples? Try “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe, or Joy Harjo’s “She Had Some Horses”. Poe’s poem creates a relentless, clanging effect through the repetition of the word “bells,” while Harjo’s repeated use of the phrase “she had some horses” and variations thereof gives her poem poem its incantatory effect, while also deepening its central philosophical conceit of what things are the same and what things are different.
