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

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
a scream, as if from nowhere,
piercing the night; blood-curdeling;
driving all who hear to fear.

Scream after scream, quantity increases.
Different voices every time
louder, louder; near-madd'ning;
panic consumes the world

Day breaks; silence returns
with no being to greet the new day
All traces of life now gone

Silence reigns again

An African drum
bum-bada-bum
I like the sound
it is not profound
but it's sometimes loud.

Armor Games is pwn,
Grammar, to me,
is unknown.
Because
pwn,
isn't a word.
Like a penguin,
A flightless bird.
This poem,
makes no sense.
So lettuce let the insanity,
commence.
Simple rhymes,
and simple thought,
I might as well
use alot.

Do not go here
if you're a sheep you will get sheared
if you're a human you are weird
Do not go here.

chasing

through the mist
I heard the hiss
but it was just a snake
that stepped on a rake

The magic cards
made lots of cars
which would suffice
for me (but I used to have lice!)

my super power
is to fly through the sky
your superpower,
is be very shy
a villains super power
is to stay still and die
what is your super power?

One day

''One day''
Is a stupid first line.
It's so small,
It's ambiguous,
And I can't make it rhyme.

It's ruined my meter,
It's ruined the flow,
It's intrusive,
Invasive,
I wish it would go,
Away

Jacob was a mountaineer,
Dashing when sober; void of fear,
Mountains peaks and a sky so clear,
Climbed higher for his clapping dear,
And into God's bedroom he peered.

Yes yes, right away,

Yes yes, right away,
Is a similar first line,
To the aforementioned,
'One day' >.>

But it could refer to,
My resentful response,
To the voice telling me,
To resume.. My.. Coursework..

**** >.>

The deadline is 4:30pm you know, I should be writing this **** conclusion so instead I came on here to write. Why do I get the urge at such ridiculous times!?
