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

FEEL THE POWER OF THE MIGHTy DOTS

Feel the power of the mighty dots!
Merely a dollar for me reading your thoughts!

The false enchanter, witchdoctor, hoodoo, and spook,
Said as the man's money he took.

The hoodoo sat down
Near the crystal ball, round,
And waited for his patient
To look into the crystal ball, radiant.

And as he did
He brought out his friend Sid,
Who pulled out "Mr. Gunney"
And stole all his money.

Don't trust the system,
It's all a pack of lies.
They rule over the fearsome:
The people who compromise.

Fight against the corrupt,
Those demons who leer,
For now they feel worshiped,
We must make them feel fear.

Difficulties strengthen the mind,
Like when taffy and magma
Are left out in the cold.

Answers though, are hard to find,
Like your wad of cash
When you have to fold.


The chips fall to the table.

The chips fall to the table
'Cuz I eat like a slob.
I sit here watching cable.
"The Price Is Right" needs Bob.

Got dumped by my girl Mabel
For my ex-buddy Rob.
I sit 'cuz I'm unable
To go look for a job.

I'm shaking hands with Abraham Lincoln,
He is very nice, you know.
Wait! I've gone back in time!
Well, I soon have to go!

Actually, I wont go,
Not everything is done.
I've gone back in time, for God's sake,
Now I'm going to have a little fun.

Say hello to Alexander the Great
Stop the wars, once and for all,
Become one of Nelson Mandela's best mates,
Go around, have a ball.

Now, time to return,
But, how do I get back?
Oh, when will I learn?
I'll just have to wait it out.

Not very good, is it?

I am lost, terrified and alone

The storm is on Approach,
The waves move menacingly,
like a huge monster,
hunting on it's prey,
But Alas!The fisherman goes to feed his kin.

Is that good? I think not.My first try.Oh well,

wretched being i am
has no way to life
the life that was full
knocked over, drained out
by the never relenting waves
by the lovely fuzzy waves

lily, I don't think you get this.

Anyways...

Stars, beacons of the sky,
showing the path I must travel
to this ultimate destination.
Where do these stars lead?
I'm not one to know, but
better not to question,
just follow.

Stars, beacons of the sky,
leading me away from this place
showing the way to home.

The endless paradox

Marshmallows,fluffy delight
What a pleasure it is,
To put a marshmallow in the mouth,
Tasting it's Sweetness,
Swirling in the Throat,
The delight is over,
And what a Delight it is!
And i repeat the Delight all over.

Bad right?I'm just a beginner. :P

The fresh breeze blowing,
right on my face,
the smooth gentle touch it leaves,
is sure to make me come for more.

This poem made NO SENSE AT ALL right?Oh well,

The Great Vast Desert
Shining golden in the sun
Smooth sailing forever
Nowhere you can't run

The gentle torrent of warm wind
Caressing my face softly
Make me regret this end
Touching my skin gently

As this vision parts from view
I quickly am filled with thoughts demure
I'm left thinking the lucky few
Back to shovelling horse manure

Who else thought that ended strange?

Skies of dark haze
where did atlas go?
the sky has fallen,
bent all over
the trees are holding them up
how long will this last?

"nom nom" said the pacman
on his gleeful run through an
endless blue maze, carefree,
except for those **** ghosts.

but a sudden realization,
his eternal fate found
stuck in the maze, forever,
or until the ghosts get him
once more.

A flash of light under blood red skies,
A Chance for happiness and hope,
Will we succeed?
Only time can tell.

Fireworks, lighting up the sky
