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

Resurrecting the first line song
It is harder than it seems
I've nothing to rhyme with song,
Oh wait! A bong.
We're making a song?
I'll use the bong.
Making a song
With a bong
I keep going on
With this bong song
The song is getting long..
I'll just stop the song.
~break for bong~
Now is the end of the first line song!

Have fun with this one

Knick knack paddy-whack,
And a knock knock on my shack.
A stick stuck to my back,
A quick quack and a duck attacks,
My stick struck with a heavy whack,
To that tricky duck I'll be no snack.


PS, I have no idea of what knick knack paddy-whack is supposed to be, so I just assumed it was gibberish.

Next line:
In my red sailing boat

In my red sailing boat
I'll travel the globe
visit ev'ry place I see
I'll stop in Italy
and maybe in France
Perhaps make a stop
in Russia as well

The places I'd go in
my red sailing boat.
As soon as I get one
that is.

Here, take my card

Here, take my card.
It will always remind you
of me and what you will
Become one day with thee

I love you always
and I hope you remember
Just why I am here
In this month of December.

I sail this lonely world
searching for love,
hope, justice
Finding none.

I sail this lonely world
searching for someone
a friend, pal
Finding none.

I sail this lonely world
searching for emotion
Any happiness
Finding you.


What was that? I have no idea.
Beyond the bagel, into the void

Beyond the bagel, into the void
I fall into the bliss of a donut
glazed sugary goodness
filled with bavarian cream.

My mind slips away to a paradise
where donuts make up the land
a place where hunger never lurks
and happiness for all. If only it really was.

What!? I was hungry.

A faint dim light seen from the shoreline,
Taking no notice, I walk around the beach,
Looking for a very close friend of mine,
Just hoping, that I can hear his screech.

Looking out upon the shore again,
My friend screams out in delight,
I finally see my dear, dear friend,
Reunited, by a dim faint light.

Saddened upon your departure FLP
I resolved to find you
And bring you back to the sun
So that once again this thread is fun
Hark what is that I hear?

Hark, what is that I hear?
Is it a moaning person,
crying, soaked in his tears?
Or a man who's luck worsened?

Perhaps its just the wind,
My imagination
running wild, my mind
making new creations.

It's always up to guess,
I see, what this noise is.
thinking more, it's a mess
best to leave it as is.

Tripping on an escalator
Falling down while falling up
Stuck in endless loops
While my face endures the pain
Dance like you mean it

Meh. This isn't so great.

I sat alone as usual,
watching the &quotopular" kids play.
If I could only join them,
it would really make my day.

Their laughter drifts over here,
and I just look down at my feet.
I feel excluded; the norm.
Days just repeat and repeat.

I wipe a tear from my eye;
I know it's going to be tough
Who knew that Kindergarten
was going to be so rough?

There's no next line?
I guess I'll do one for the next poster.
