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

All those people, laughing insane
at the bald and ugly crane.

The poor dog on the road,

All those people, laughing insane.
Cackling in glee
The hyenas herald their reign

Life is naught but a chess game
Driven by hidden insanity
These chess-masters will rise to fame

From the shadows they reach out
Placing pawns and killing kings
Ruling with political clout


Fortitude of the assassin

The poor dog on the road
is wandering alone

looking for the day
where the sun would just stay

The poor dog on the road
Lying on its side
Should've seen that car coming
Such a horrible way to die.

Creatures jumping in the night
pouncing in from left and right

The clouds are looming on the hill
but the moon just can't keep still

Though the man on the roof

Creatures jumping in the night,
jumping screaming, what a fright,
they scratch they claw,
then ask for cash to go to the mall.


The pencil broke into 3 pieces,

Let's just pause for a minute while we choose who makes the next.
So many ninja's on this page it's a dojo.

Sticky notes cover the page

Sticky notes cover the page,
Written by the wisest sages,
All you need to know, they can reveal,
You shall not annoy, misbehave or steal,
Yet these words of advice fall on deaf ears,
People tend to hear, what people want to hear,
And almost every visiting guest,
Think that they know best,
What kind of insight could they possibly gain?
To read all that, that would be insane!
About what the notes say, they simply don't care,
And they proceed to ask, "Halo or Modern Warfare?"


The walls whisper

The walls whisper
Of blood they drank some years ago.
The shadows stir;
As new prey comes they writhe and grow.

Some foolish sheep
Have lost their way but found this place.
These walls will seep
With blood from those they'll soon erase.

The blackest reaches of the mind
or the farthest corner of hell
they're both the same

and yet people ask

why do we live?

why do we live?
Our lives are filled with
endless pain; mentally
physically, why be put through
this? Is it even worth living
with no reason at all?

Or maybe there is some
purpose to our lives.
Something to live for;
a reward after death.
Perhaps it's some unseen
being that is what makes
this life worth living.
