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.
My hands are tied We can't escape. We don't have much longer Before it's too late. We came to win, But this was just bait. More often than not, You can't outrun fate. We had a mission, But we can't negate. We were stupid, We didn't wait.
Hope I don't get caught, I'm not supposed to be here. It's 3 AM and I'm still up, My parents, I do fear. My bedtime was 10, And I'm still awake. If they find me not sleeping, In my shoes I will quake.
So I think It is time To click the red X And get offline. _____
green light flashing OH GOD! what could it be?! An alien ship taking captives beaconing in with light? or perhaps some secret government project, designed to control us all?!
Panic comes over me from that flashing green light I barricade the door with tables and anything in sight, take cover behind the couch.
Bravely I look to see what this monstrous light could be, I see a small machine, emitting light in pulses. I realize then... I left my strobe light on outside.
