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.
As I watch the sunset, As the light fades from the earth, So do I.
I become transparent, In thought and in body, And I observe everything.
I can see, many miles away, A child playing on the beach.
I can see, across an ocean, A worker typing in his office.
I am all knowing. But I do nothing. I do not know what it is like To feel the burn of muscles After running a mile. All I know Is what I watch. What I see.
What is today but yesterday's tomorrow? What was once today looked upon its tomorrow With the lens of the unknown, but now I know what has occurred, and it is a mystery no longer.
Come on people, we need to get this thread rolling again. This is probably the longest amount of time we've gone without a poem. The new first line is as stated above. (I feel like I'm bumping Battle of the Bands up all over again.)
