This bop was written for Read Write Poem Prompt #67: Share the Bop. A bop is a (roughly) 26 line poem with three stanzas and a refrain that repeats three times in the poem. The bop is usually structured like this (however, you can modify or expand on the form):
- Stanza 1: six lines, introduces a problem or situation
- Refrain
- Stanza 2: eight lines, expands more on the problem or situation, or continues from stanza 1
- Refrain
- Stanza 3: six lines, with the solution or conclusion
- Refrain
I had fun with this and plan to write many more bops. For the RWP prompt for this week, we were to either a) borrow two lines posted by participants as a refrain or b) write our own bop and use one of the donated couplets as an epigraph. My refrain (I want to fix you/I want to set your wings) is courtesy of Angie from The Space Between Words blog.
Now, enjoy the poem.

your love. Now, I hear your voices:
