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

The warrior prepares to fight,
a sword at his side,
a look of determination on his face,
with a very focused mind.

The Dark Days Are Over

The dark days are over,
So lift your weary head.
I know,
I know that you have struggled,
Suffered as no one has.
I know that you have seen pain
That cannot be comprehended.
But I promise you this time,
That under your growing light,
The chains that bound you,
The cloth that smothered you,
Fall away.
So raise your feet one last time,
And remember that
Even in the coldest hours of the dusk,
The sun is always shining.

The steepest road
was a very steep road
whoever went up
always came down

When the Moon is Full

Oh yeah, time to butcher this thing.


When the Moon is full,
She doesn't want to eat.
Though she eats all the time,
Being full is a feat.

Her stomach is a bottomless hole,
Continuous eating,
Blame the 5 bowls.


Okay well that's over, I just want to get some other people in here! Maybe after a few bad tries of writing I'll be able to get something good!

Another line?
Stiff is the pine.
Use that if you're feeling brave,
Or feel free to use the word
Rave
It doesn't matter where it goes,
Here or there,
Only you'll know.
Just make sure it on the First Line,
Looks like I'll go now, I'm all out of rhymes.

Stiff is the Pine
In the forest divine
The forest sublime
I love every time.

This was all I could come up with.
Here's the line:

Water, water everywhere

Water, water everywhere
Flooding, flooding there and there
the houses are soon covered in water
and the water soon begans to slaughter

Next Line:

The storm of dreams
Flows like a thousand streams
nightmares come through
Sorrow goes out
Hate comes through
Pain goes out
Let go of life
And it'll let go of you

In a blaze of bullets and glory
the war began to end
with shots ringing here and there
the artillery blasting everywhere

the river of the dead
is the thing that I dread
because in it you do not get fed
and I am hungry.

The blanket of ice,
Engulfed me in it's grip.
The thaw that never came,
The spring that never sprung,
Has forsaken me again.
(Don't know where the inspiration for that came,
I'm usually an extremely happy person.)

The sea of never ending dreams
had dreams of broken hearts and dreams
that flowed fluidly through the sea
and were lost
for
all
eternity

stopping only when they get to me

The moonrise silver,
With a hint of gold,
Makes the man quiver,
As though he were cold.

He fell down the stairs
rolling and thudding and screaming "OWWWWWW!!!!"
He died painfully when he hit the bottom.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
