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

What time is it?
Page 60, OH SNAP.
That means time for a new Digest.
And all my poetry is crap.

Is it real or is it fake?
This floating feeling won't last forever.
This one victory, or am I drowning in a lake?
Time to make one last endeavor,
before the moon explodes.

I'm traveling in a barren land,
and everything is gone.
All the food I brought is canned,
because, as far as I know, there is no
refrigerator.

This illusion of an illusion
is making everything true,
which is bad, because I can't say
I love you.

wrap me up in this warm blanket,
for I am very very cold
or perhaps a snuggie that will fit,
for i am very very old.

A loose one will hurt me,
i suppose

This is a new day.
The sun shines
and I'm feeling
happy.

I walk outside
to feel the cool breeze
that blows upon me.
Relaxing.

I take a stroll.
My lungs
fill with air.
Liveliness.

I go home to my bed
for a harmonious sleep
covered by the blankets.
Peace.

I stare at the chalkboard
waiting for this
miserable day
to be over

I should be home
but thanks to my friend
time in detention
i spend
when will it end?!

Burritos as big as your head,
are hard to finish.

But even so,
they are quite filling.

One question though.
What about tacos as big as your torso?

My computer broke,
so I am not able to type this poem.
My sincere apologies
are for you,
since I can't write these words.

I wish you could read this poem,
but my computer broke,
so,
you can't read it.

Maybe I'll fix it
in a day or two
And once my computer works again,
I'll dedicate these words to you.

flipping open my cell phone
I find hundreds of texts
all of them coming from you

five minutes is all it has been
since I texted you first
now I ask you text someone else!

Dark green
sweatshirts,
flying past
my door.

I'm not so cold
that you may need
to rub it in my face.
An untruth that's
simply idiotic.

Why should I
be nice to you,
when you're being
a total
hypocrite?

Pulling myself up this frayed rope ladder
I wonder when it will all end
Another wizard is at the top
With some maiden and some jewels
Ill probably beat him with my magic sword
*sigh* Never any creativity
When will it end?
A thousand more castles after this
A thousand more maidens
A thousand more evil figures
Wheres a place for heroes to rest?
Evil doesn't take a vacation

Evil doesn't take a vacation.
But goodness is lazy, and it does.
Evil needs that twisted elation.
Good? I think they do it just for fun.

If God exists, he must be on leave,
but the Devil must be hard at work.
I think that since Adam and Eve
left, God has become a divine jerk.

I say, let's hold a reelection.
We need a new ruler of the good.
We're still waiting for resurrection,
meanwhile, Satan's doing what he should.

Promise me something, if you please.
Could you do this with ease?
Promise me that
I will never become fat.

I know it is a bit silly,
but I don't want to end up like Billy.
So promise me that
I will never become fat.

I like to eat
when I'm hungry
which isn't very often
I'm much too thin,
but
I enjoy reading more
these words on these
pages,
speaking of dinner
seem so lovely
I'd like to munch on this
paper.
Crunch, Crunch, Crunch.
So tasty.

Loose shoes on my feet,
oh they really stink.
Let's go back to the store,
and get a different one in pink.

Why pink you ask?
Well it's my favorite color.
Yes you caught me,
I do it to annoy my mother.

When I see you

When I see you
my heart beats faster
out of sudden panic
as I know
my end is near

I must run
its my only chance
to escape my coming fate
but I know
I will not make it

and now this world
fades to black
but before I leave
I hear laughter
you are laughing
death is laughing

lights of every color
