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.
A tongue of flame fanned by the wind, Wax from the candle melts slowly and thins. Butterfly flutters too close. Soft crumpled wings and the smoke of a ghost.
A sheet of ice cracked by the cold, A parchment of mystery, centuries old. Droplets of water appear, A voice from the Ancients, a single shed tear.
A breath of air whispered at night. A bat in the throes of its ultimate flight. Wings poised in ghostly grace. The shock of the light painted clear on its face.
It isn't because you are beautiful It isn't because you are kind It isn't because I am neither (Though I think that I am, in my mind) But it is because you have money And that is just what I need
Oh, I'm sorry. That's my bad. *facepalm*. I thought it was just the last line of your poem. Okay... They took our jobs! "Dur da dur!" "They took his dog?" Kudos to people who get the reference. But yeah... They took our jobs!
