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

What :O we can't have funny line? It was a typing error if that is what you mean....

Lurkers:
Lurking in the threads,
Hiding in the shadows.
Waiting for the right
Second to strike you!

Prying in the night
Just viewing fights
I spot one
Flying out, pulls a gun
I fall on knees
Pray to Jeez
Hope I live
That I don't give
My life
I retrieve knife

Is this great?

Mini poem!

Ashes fall from the sky
The world is burning.
Those waiting can only cry.
The ground is churning.
We look up, up on high.
The world is burning.

Is this great?
Or just my imagination?
Am I in heaven or did
The world get brighter?
No more murders,
No more suffering.

This life is a bliss!
I wish I could stay
Here forever, in the
Arms of this warm
And inviting home.

---------

Sleep
Is crucial too
Our minds, and
Too our souls.

Without it,
We are a wreck.
Make idiotic decisions;
Hurt the people we love.

Sleep is much needed
In this world of pain,
In this world of gloom.
Can't we all just take
A good night's sleep
And not kill each other?

Rest my friend

Rest my friend,
Think of nothing,
Let everything go,
Have a blank mind.

Enjoy those splinters,
Piercing your corpse,
You won't feel it,
Enjoy having no pain,
No emotions,
Let yourself go,
Into a dreamland,
Feeling nothing,
You're cured
From this disease,
We call life.

Searching for a cure
All I find is the poison
Flowing all around

Im in a haiku kind of mood.

A better state of mind
Is all that I ask.
Instead of sitting here
Wishing I was dead,
Can't I please just
Enjoy my life?
A better state of mind;
It is all that I ask
Of you to do for me.

I can see the light

I can see the light,
Almost out of the abyss,
Approaching the end,
The light begins to
burn my eye sockets,
Bringing me to
complete blindness,
I'll remain in this
deep dark abyss,
'till I die.

Climbing up a tree
To see what I can see.
Perhaps a flower, or a bee?
Maybe a puffy white cloud?
Or a the birds singing loud?
But deep in my heart, what I
Really want to see is a warm,
Welcoming smile as I look by.

Think everybody is forgetting the next line lately, Legit.

Eww, bliss.

You're my bliss,
Warming my heart,
Making me smile,
Making life worthwhile,
Without you,
I'd be nothing
but a failure,
I love you
with my heart
and with my soul.

Look at what you did, LTD. You killed it. :/
A quickie. Shall it turn out positive? Or depressing? Stay tuned to find out!

Suicidal thoughts
s-w-a-r-m-i-n-g
my mind,
Burrowing
through my
frag-
ment-
ed thou-ghts.
I start to yearn
for the bliss
Of muffled darkness,
Death on my
cold lips.
The sun has
forsaken me
to the dirt.
When will I feel
The warmth again?
I step into the
light.
I see the blue-ness
The green and yellow.
The clear and calm.
I breath
I dream
Of living.

When will it end?

the clock's still ticking
when will it end
i'm close to flipping

when will it end
i want to be through
when will it end

when will it end
this isn't cool
when will it end
I hate school.
