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

Death is a Silvery Pearl;
A conflict of emotion
Beckoned to a casual desperation
Of obscene banality.

Weeping shadows gather in gloom,
Where fear would hang itself
From the indifferent ceiling
Of a whiskey-stained bedroom.

Reasons takes flight
On wings of despair;
No wings for this boy,
Only leaden boots;
He is fate's toy and tugs in vain
At misery's choking roots.

A suspended flex,
Until a cacophony of commotion
Brings salvation running,
Grasping at the slipping seconds;
And a faint murmur
Of hope.

Next line: The night symphony begins...

The night symphony begins,
when the clock strikes midnight
with a slow melancholy gong.
Then comes a sound,
A low chilling sound.
Bones suddenly rattle
and begin jumping around,
the dead begin to rise
and make a blood-chilling sound.
Until finally
the clock strikes morning,
and a ray of morning light,
peeks over the mountains
and the frightening,
but beautiful night symphony
is finally over.
The dead go back into
there long forgotten graves,
and all is quiet again.
Until the next day,
when the clock strikes midnight
again.

through the night
slow dreams
a call away
She is just
this
apprehension
irrational
just go to sleep
slow dreams

My hands are the evening sky,
Folding up the stars and making them cry,
The twinkle of light that makes angels fly,
And embraces our souls when we die.

My insanity is unparalleled in this dream of mine
This chill, this glee, running through my spine.
Their bodies hit the floor
As an unrestrained laugh rips itself from my core
I hold the power of life or death in my hands
You must beg and plead to change my plans

You pathetic, sniveling scoundrel
You don't deserve to live
I'll end your life now
This is simply how it is.

Carry on from this day forward

Carry on from this day forward
the weight of millions of people's dreams,
but be extremely careful among the dead
for they will anguish you with their piercing screams.
In the end,
through out your misery
you will soon succeed.

One night
Is all I need.
One night
Is all I dream.
One fight
May stop it all.
And then one fight
Stopped it all.

Dark whispers running,
My team gunning
for the win
we must win
the zombie apocalypse.

The zombie apocalypse.

The zombie apocalypse.
Everyone I know already infected.
They've been scraping along for ages
Wishing they'd rot away

The zombie apocalypse.
Where we find people attacking others
Because their skin may not be as green
Or their brains are too sharp.

Someone find a cure!
that guy is becoming a blur,
no one knew when
no one knew how,
but he became a blur

But he said: Why?
He was so weak, he could only say one word.
Why? He gave a weazy exhale. his last breath.
It was his end. But: Why?

The lake was crystal clear.

The lake was crystal clear.
Fathoms down I could see fish,
Swimming without any fear
Of intrusion by the outside world.

FINALLY THREAD BACK ON DDDD

Off in the distance
lions roar
off in the distance
eagles soar
off in the distance
a man hunts a boar
off in the distance, is life.
