Circular Poem Exercise: Write a short poem that begins and ends with the same line. The lines should have different meanings by the end of the poem.
"Dustless"
Like white dustless chalk,
Sand turned to rock
and all thats in between
waking and a dream.
Worn from the years,
from work and from fears.
Never leaving a trace
in time or in space.
Just a grounded stone
on which moss is grown.
A cold, mocking rock,
like white dustless chalk.

I think the rhyme really worked in this poem. It seems to keep the poem focussed and support the mood.

Great mood, and the rhyme works well with it. I especially like the 'mocking rock' - nice personification. Nice consonance with that, too.
