This is a bit of a forum game, but at the same time it has the capacity to result in a bit of poetry, so it goes here. I'm going to supply a line of poetry, and the following poster is to create a poem using the line I gave as their first. Along with their poem, they supply a line for the next person to write poetry on. No restrictions on the type of line or poetry; just keep the line open ended.
Here's the first line:
A mountain pokes out awkward in the mist
"A man from the land of Sam?"
I asked him, the reply; "Yes I am.
Quite a wondrous place,
Though hard on One's face.
At least it smells better than Stan."
Sorry for the limerick, I couldn't help myself.
Attempting to draw from the nectar of the nonsensical, yet not...
Dancing towards the sky.
Dancing towards the sky,
In a gust of wind I rise
To temples cold upon the moon:
The journey of a free balloon.
Darkness lies upon the land
Darkness lies upon the land
Heartless appear in shadows
Upon the softest of sands
And are take to the gallows
Indeed an age of war begins
Born in the wake of the dead
As the era of peace ends
Reflection of my life
Dangit Parsat, that was approximately what I thought except with sheep and lullaby instead of gust of wind and a hot air balloon instead of just a balloon.
Reflection of my life
Found in candy galore
Candy canes and candied ginger,
Lollipops with tootsie core,
Zebra and bazooka gum,
Bubblepop and more,
Gobstoppers, butterscotch,
Pixie sticks and licorice,
Gummy bears, gummy worms,
Gummy sharks and gummy fish,
Rock hard Jolly Ranchers,
Soft chews in a dish,
Jelly Bellies of all flavors,
Life Savers, peppermints,
Lemonheads and pucker candy
Sour to make you wince,
Red hots and spicy ones
Down with milk to rinse,
And White Rabbit Creamy Candy
Wrapped in paper waxed and rice
Smooth and sweet upon the tongue
Worth the dollar price.
When going out for groceries,
It was something nice.
I never won once at Candy Land (May substitute "Candy Land" with Chutes/Snakes and Ladders or any other board game if you've never played either.)
I never won once at Candy Land
Queen Frostine be canned
Gramma Nutt hates my guts
And Gloppy gets so sloppy
Plumpy freaks me out
Nobody knows just what it's about
And the Kids are about to be cooked, you'll read about them in a book
But it's called Hansel and Gretel, they're put in a kettle
And eaten up by a witch(Lord Licorice)
Lord Licorice's 'stache is creepy
Mr. Mint just makes me sleepy
Srsly though, Licorice is a kidnapper, and Mint makes you a napper
They're in it together, two birds in a feather
It's the Candyland Conspiracy
Here's the evidence and proof, you see?
That's why I've never won, not once, you dunce!
Not because I suck at the game...because kidnapping is the aim!
That's why I don't play Candyland
Or Chutes and Ladders, or anything, dad!
It's not because I'm a crazy kid, or on acid
It's because they'll kill me and eat my remains, it's because I have...
BRAAAAAAAIIIINNSSSSS!
Yes...that was very random. And there were so many places where it could be inappropriate it's laughable, but I got through without one inappropriate word!
It's a conspiracy, a lie!
It's a conspiracy, a lie!
When men are sent to die.
Love is lost upon running blood,
Sought to victory of the flood.
Seeking treasure, of the land,
Seeking death, on the sand.
Ready to die for what they know not,
Soon to let their corpses rot.
Blood creeps into the sun,
Lost to die by the gun.
Slaughtered bodies for all that's lost,
Our treasure won, but great the cost.
Running through meadows,
Running through meadows,
With the long sought after Lie.
I have a PhD in PE, you see,
I could catch him if I tried.
After all, I am the Truth.
The girl with the glint in her eye.
And I'm out to catch my nemesis,
He's the long sought after Lie.
Haha
The scissors'll make this quick!
The scissors will make this quick,
And then the job shall be done.
The epitome of everything,
And oh it shall be fun.
With one snip I shall sever,
And make crimson flow anew.
The woes of years now gone,
Will finally all be through.
For now I cut the bright red ribbon,
And reopeon the factory of paint.
Crimson paint is our specialty,
It's so wonderful, I just might faint.
In the mornings I find that I...
In the mornings I find that I
Can not help but marvel at the
Sheer beauty found in a new day
The crystalline drops of dew
hanging upon a delicate web
Icy frost, that covers the
greenery with a white blanket
A fiery sun lingers upon our horizon
The light of a new dawn shining on us
Fourscore and seven years ago...
Fourscore and seven years ago
A nation was born
The child of revoulution and war
Breaking free to find its own path
To blaze a trail across the praries and to the sea
A nation to last eternity.
And they looked with hope
And they looked with hope
unto the sky
until they realized
they were doomed to die.
Death was coming
to take their souls
sweeping past their defenses:
the walls and patrols.
No fight left in them
they excepted their fate
and may their way
to hells fiery gate.
I always new there was a chance
I always knew there was a chance
Each time I thought of you.
Each rare reply brings to my heart
From yours a veiled clue.
I ate so much I think I'll burst
Shoot! Forgot the k in knew and said may instead of made.
I ate so much I think I'll burst.
Doughnuts, cakes and tarts be cursed.
I ate so much I'm feeling queasy--
Head is reeling; stomach's uneasy.
I ate so much I think I'll die
But wait! There's still more pecan pie!
Just one more bite, thats all I need,
It's too much! I think *KABLOOM*
"Do you think the lemon's tasty?"
He asked of her, the reply
"Tell the truth, I think it's nasty."
"Well, at least you didn't lie."
"Sir, do you like pickle juice?"
"Young man, I do not know."
"I can't unscrew the lid, it's not loose-"
"Thanks sir, now you can go."
"Ma'am, would you eat dark chocolate?"
"Well I guess I eat it now and then." "[/i]
"But I'm not exactly in love with it.
"Thanks, and don't forget to send your friends!"
"Boss, the results are in and they are clear."
"Peoples' perception of disgusting foods-"
[i]"You actually did that, Mr. Dweeb-Fear?"
"It was just a prank, seriously dude."
