This is a Blitz Poem, a stream-of-consciousness piece, about mood swings, among other things.
In The Mood
Mood blue can turn into mood indigo
I can be of a mood to laugh
Laugh with friends
Laugh at folly.
Folly of leaders
Folly of the masses.
Masses of paperwork
Masses of clouds.
Clouds drop rain
Clouds my judgment .
Judgment brings pain
Judgment brings lessons .
Lessons come hard
Lessons drive change.
Change is a constant
Change is a process.
Process builds systems
Process builds patience.
Patience means perseverance
Patience is a virtue.
Virtue shakes vice
Virtue brings challenge .
Challenge builds strength
Challenge begs a question.
Question authority
Question existence .
Existence is eternal
Existence is the start of life .
Life can be hard
Life means feeling.
Feeling groovy
Feeling anger .
Anger spurs action
Anger is a mood .
Mood
Swings
AWESOME!!! I really like this one! I think you were destined to do blitz poetry! (applause!)

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I will attempt an Octina, later today. “Summer’s End” seems a natural fit for that endeavour. Oops. Turns out there is no such thing as an Octina-in terms of poetry. An OCTAVE is quite common, but requires strict use of iambic pentameter, which is foreign to me.
