[stylist] Changes poem

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Barbara,

Your previous poem fit fine for my changes prompt. It was a good poem, I
think, and just could use some polishing.

Sincerely,

Okay, I wrote Childhood?s End half my lifetime ago and I?ll admit it
could use the work but here?s a today poem that I succeeded in writing
with Bridget?s theme in mind. The format will change, I know, but it
technically has no breaks?meaning the poem is just one stanza.  It?s
really corny ... but here goes:


    CHANGES



It was time to change

  the boy

So I turned him to

  a clock,

It was time to change

  the time

So I turned him to

  a sock,

It was time to change

  clothes

So I turned him to

  a tree

It was time to change

  the season

So I turned him to

  the sea,

It was time to change

  the tide

So I turned him to

  a bear,

It was time to change

  the mood

So I turned him to

  a chair,

It was time to change

  furniture

So I turned him to

  a breeze,

It was time to change

  the weather

So I turned him to

  a cheese,

It was time to change

  the menu

So I turned him to

  a roi,

It was time to change

  rulers

So I turned him to

  a boy.
