Poetry Chip Challenge – Chasing Youth at Any Cost

Chasing Youth At Any Cost

The lightning dances across

The dark night sky,

Helping the lighthouse

Illuminate the way

to a gorgeous gazebo

wrapped with bougainvillea.

Long fabled to be the

Coveted fountain of youth.

Approach it carefully,

For its well-guarded by

The fierce black panther.

He cannot be outrun,

But there’s another method. 

He can certainly be lured away,

With a tasty blue-ribbon pie.

It’s worth the risk for the

slightest chance to

To outsmart father-time.

This was my first Paint Chip Poetry Challenge and I quite enjoyed. Here is the chip we were given, use at least 2 words – pairs are better. Bonus for using additional words.

I highly recommend giving this a try, here’s the link:
