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

Carry on, obsequious one
Do your duty little
Mary Jane
Go through the motions
Over and over again.

Ice in my eyes, in my heart, in my feet.

Man the doors,
Draw the swords,
Don't turn to cowardice,
Turn to war.
Say a prayer,
Punch the air,
Face the field with a,
Defiant glare.

There's a lot that I don't know

The man walks slowly on the ground
He forgot his hat so he turned around
Upon twisting he saw something very profound
The thing he saw was a huge, smoking clown!

It was alive yesterday

It was alive yesterday
Smiling with joy
How fun it was
to kill that boy

All I saw was darkness

since the above seems to be song lyrics i think, i shall go with the above above.

All i saw was darkness
as i fell through outer space
i'd been shot with a lazer gun
from no other time or place
from then those EVIL lumpy blob creatures
who floated up to my door
and kicked me through the hallway wall
and clear through the windows nextdoor.

I took out my brand new army boots

I took out my brand new army boots,
And shuddered with a shiver.
How long ago
Had that message been delivered?
We were young but we became old.
We knew he wasn't coming back,
Without being told.
Mom wasn't the same anymore,
And my brothers turned bleak.
But when I walk out of this door,
It isn't revenge I seek.
I put on my new army boots,
And promised myself I'd be back.
Eventually I returned,
But my world was pitch black.

I could face it if I could,
I would defeat it. I should.
But how can I when the shadows cloud me?
When will I be released from this worry?
No one can save me now.
No one knows how.
I am all alone.

Now, next person do this line!

Never will I submit
on a throne or on a spit.
On the streets being hit
Such things can't discourage me a bit.

and time will show
what have you done
you'll have to choose
the sword or the gun
you'll have to choose
pastor or nun
you might meet your wife
you might meet your son
but when that day comes
you'll never ever see the sun.
and when they put noose around your neck
you'll want to hide, you'll want to run
and when you fall from deck
you might break your neck
if not you poor bast ard
you'll strangle to death
your tongue will come out
your neck will be streched
on your tombstone
these words will be etched
"here lies the man"

Here lies the man.
The man that ruined my life.
The man that tore the tears out of my eyes.
The man that didn't care if I cried.
The man that thought my pain was funny.
The man that didn't care for money.
The man that only needed to see pain.
The man who I would've liked to maim.
The man who needed to go away.
The man that would hurt me with what he would say.
The man that, at night, would make me turn and toss.
The man that when I think of him...
I feel a loss.

I'm being pretty angst now.

Do:
I wonder will it ever stop?
