Write a ten-line poem. The poem must include a proverb, adage, or familiar phrase (examples: between the devil and the deep blue sea, one foot in the grave, a stitch in time saves nine, don't count your chickens before they hatch, someday my prince will come, the whole nine yards, a needle in a haystack) that you have changed in some way, as well as five of the following words:
 
cliff                     blackberry
needle                cloud
voice                  mother
whir                    lick


You have ten minutes.
