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

very well. Like I said, i'll probably use it again closer to Christmas.

As I look down on the world
I see all it has to offer
the mountains, the seas
and the great plains

But then I look where I am
a place with streets made of gold
and I think to myself
Why go down there?

Don't know if this is any good or not but...

Where are we?
In wonderland of course
Look at the sky
Look the people
All of the wonderful sights!
A bouncing rabbit here,
A dancing turtle there,
Everywhere you look,
animals acting like people
Because this is wonderland.

You are delusional

Where are we?
Where's our car?
Oh, I see it.

We're in a desert of some sort,
And the car is in a flaming heap
About ten feet thataway.

I wonder what happened,
Though if i were to guess I'd say
That rocket fuel don't work too well in a car.

A whole days not so far away

The performance of fate
An elaborate dance of life

Controlling the lives of humans
As a puppeteer does marionettes

An inevitable meeting with the end
Perhaps some good, perhaps some bad

Fate has it's way with all of us.

Its nearly over
this pain that I've suffered
for so long now

My time has come
I'm going home now
all I must do is close my eyes
and I'll be there

It's nearly over

That was for my grandma, who passed away last night.

The shock
head spinning,
reeling,
doubting

The acceptance
slow
painful
disbelief

The tears
fast
flowing
unstoppable.

The pain
excruciating
lessening,
but forever.

Pain for glory
Blood spills
Ensuring victory

Sword clash
Arrows fly
Armies charge

Brutal fights
Shall ensue
Glory for the victorious!

Life is all!
though at times it is unfair
a kicks us while we're down
We still go on in this way
living to the fullest

Give peace a chance

Yes this is a John Lennon song, but I want to see what people can do with it.
