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.
Cavemen are hunting dinosaurs, Absurd is the thought That they had a chance To take one down With such a small stance. Their pitiful sticks Couldn't compete With skin so thick. Try as they might None went down Came home every night Nothing was found.
I'll let whoever the next person is make their own first line. Freebie time.
Where is the child that I once was? Innocent and ignorant At peace with the blindness I miss the old me Where Mom and Dad would always take care And I never had to worry. Where is that child what I once was? Where I never had to question What someone does Where did I go? Why in the world Did I ever want to know?
Seeing the Moon in the daytime, A double of brother sun, Two glowing orbs of ivory and gold. The clouds shine shades of silver, And the grass is shining jade, The cool water that reflects the sky Is filled with fish, scales gleaming Like diamonds and sapphires. Here I sit and feel the wealth of earth, I sit upon a treasure chest thats Too beautiful to have a price.
Falling into the abyss of insanity I become another individual of humanity All like in similar features We are all just teachers Feeding generations lies I hope my spirit will not die I rebel with hope to individualize I know I'll be killed by the guys Run, run, as fast as you can or you're doomed
Run, run, as fast as you can or you're doomed yes, to that dark, dark, place, that tomb There will be no way out, no escape Because, even here, you're never truly safe
Let's hope that there's an end to this, This monstrosity that consumes us all. Let's wish upon the sparkling stars That to greed mankind won't fall. Let's try to stop our plundering hands And our pointless bloody wars. Let's sit together and watch the night sky, Amongst the sparkling stars.
