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 power of time.

Payed for by my dime.

Atmosphere is suffering,

I will die

I just typed this line,
totally of the top of my mind,
but the good lord knows,
why I am looking at my nose,
and this is as random as it gets.

inky binky pincky clyde
the cat went up the slide.
At the top a bot karate chopped
and sent the cat down the slide.
It broke its neck and three bones
and also broke a tailbone.
It was killed and skinned
and never was again alive.

Darkness consumes me

Darkness consumes me,
And my tears burn like alcohol,
Bringing me to poor, intoxicated judgements,
Filling me with the frenzied disarray of drunkenness.

I can barely see through my own darkness,
Much less a sheet of blurry tears.

There is so much darkness
And so little information
To decide what is truth
And what is falsehood-
Everyone believes what they see is true,
But they see through the same, clouded eyes,
As I do.

Woe to them.

Woe to me.

All is falsity,
But the falsity we see is so close to the truth
That everyone believes it to be
A reality.

So it is.

But it isn't.

There is only darkness.
Confusion.
Death.
Hate.
Love.
Life.
Clarity.
Light.

A ring of sorrow
will come tomorrow
in the dawn

It is not for a fawn
on your lawn
this is very weird
like my beard.

EPIC FAIL!!

He went to jail.
And paid bail.

I was bit by a fish
and got the contagious
fish disease
that removed my bones
and infected all i know
i was bit by a fish

Nuclear bomb, the end of days,
I bask in the sun, its final rays,
I stare into the dark, illuminated by death,
And turn to the shadow of vapor and breath.

I sink into the dark, no one can stop me,
I'm burning with flickers of deadly decay,
It is the end, watch them flee,
As I stand in the sun, deciding to stay.

Illuminated deadly caverns

they make you go mad,
and gladly sad.

the cat says woof, the dog says meow
As the school bus passes I shoot the cow
Now don't ask me why, don't ask me how
But the cat says woof and the dog says meow

Through my experiances in this ole life
I nkow that w=one should never get a wife
'cause it ain't worth the bloody strife
The gravel in the gut and the spit in the eye
Really doesn't go well for the shy

So I hear you folks sometimes ask
"Why does he drink from an empty flask?"
But you would ask that same thing
If you got the hangover after the fling

Now sometimes humor doesn't go so far
Sometimes you hand gets stuck in the cookie jar
Sometimes you just have bad luck
Sometiems you're just a sittin' duck.

Now imma copy this to my poetry feed
For all those ag-ers to happily read
I'm sure y'all are fine and dandy
But I need to go and get me some candy
