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

How can this be repaired?
When no one is waiting,
When nothing is there.

What am I supposed to do?
When there are no directions,
No map to turn to.

How can we fix this?
If you choose to be ignorant,
Just to have your bliss.

I'm ready to confront you.
I'm ready to confess.
But I can't find the words to.
So this emotion I will suppress.


Speakers on loud

Speakers on loud,
The youthful anthem blaring
Strong and proud,
Commanding, declaring.

On eager wing
The revolution takes flight,
As the firebrands sing
And lead their hearts to ignite.

Change will come
With their relentless tide,
And dethrone the numb
Whose compassion has long died.

Their words and blades
Will act as one to rebuild and reshape.
Watch, as tradition fades
Allowing new thoughts to escape.

We'll take the fight to them

We'll take the fight to them
is what he declared
We'll make 'em pay for that

A few days later. he came back
black in the eye from his attack...
I think I'll leave it at that

Looking through a kaleidoscope
triangles, rectangles,
different colors
mixing mashing

bright and beatiful
chaotic cool
bright happy
like the things on my mind

Like the dog my spirts high

Like the dog my spirits high
It seems to me that I can fly
and that I will never die.

But then comes defeat
I can't we've been beat
what an impressive feat!

But now I rest
I did my best
in the battle fest

That was a hard poem to write. i wasn't sure how to make your line into a poem Slayguy.

Love robbed
from a man
with no place to go
now he sits
upon his couch
watching rerun shows

The buzzards circled
around dead
an act of violence
and a lesson to all

The Endgame is coming
doom to us all
the darkness
so much fear in the air

but a single light
still so bright
in our hands
meaning peace and love

the way of the sky

The Endgame is coming,
So release you inhibitions;
It will all end soon anyway.
What have you got to lose?

Confess your love,
Spit at your foes
And party like there's no tommorow.
Because there won't be one.

rain on the sidewalk
so refreshing and cool
and very convinient;
it'll make cleaning up my victim that much easier.

Your fate is never set
you can alter it
hard
yet possible

directing your life
yet not all the time
small changes
clears the picutre

Life in your hands
