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.
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. His life so lonely, So horrid and boring. Can't take much more, He wants to get to The other side. Shattered glass
Shattered glass The remnants of Your transparent dreams Of glorious power. What was to be Your crown of diamonds Is revealed to be nothing but a cheap trinket, Crushed under marching feet.
Levels of clouds. I soar above them, Laugh at their faces. They looked down upon My distasteful life. But now look who Has the last laugh! I'm level with the clouds, Their level with Hell!
Battered mind and tattered soul Battered from the lies you tell Tattered from your daggered words My mind reels from the hateful spite And my soul flames with a burning light.
