New rhyme game

They came to say “no more rhyme”
Poetry didn’t work this time.

Thanks everyone who tried this thread. It didn’t seem to work out somehow. Maybe someone else could start one. I might drift back to the Limericks.

The wind is blowing that’s for sure
Someone’s knocking at my door

crazyH ......So I’ll give another line a miss.

gemini789. ....Don’t make another person sad ☹️

New one

The wind is blowing that’s for sure

Oops. We crossed. Sorry Crazy, was that a line for the next one or how you’re feeling.

Do good deeds instead of bad

I don't know where to go with this

Would help us all in this great land

A smile, a wave, a helping hand

If we all put on our bravest face

Shall we try just one line each ?

The world would be a better place

We’ll shake hands and say hello
And off far afield we’ll go

Thanks for trying to help me out , Crazy.
I tried to get the hang of what a sonnet is and I think it’s too complicated. But when I looked up sonnet I came across quatrain which might be easier. It’s 4 lines only . It has to rhyme and an example is Humpty Dumpty which we all know.
So we could start with Beige’s line ,

Maybe one day again we'll meet
A friendly face across the street

Agree Gemini ? Another idea - instead of each one doing 2 lines , let's each add one line, and make the poem a Sonnet and the 14th person starts a new line ...just an idea

To Henetha

Don’t give up you’re good at this
Carry on. You mustn’t miss !

Ah, those memories are so bittersweet
Maybe one day again we'll meet

I looked at the stars and thought 'what might'
The years have gone - can't set it right

I did my best you can’t do more .

This game is a complete mystery to me
So I'll give up and make a cup of tea.
(sorry! )

I was thinking ...... how can this end ? Any ideas ?
How about ... anyone can end it whenever they want to or it risks going on and on . A new person wouldn’t know what’s going on unless they read several pages back.

I looked at the stars and thought 'what might'
The years have gone - can't set it right

Drinking alone by moonlight
I bethought me of lost loves

Sadly we need a new start

THE END

Drinking alone by moonlight

You got in before me Ashcombe. Not to worry.

There ears are clenched for hearing.
And dear hearts are broken yet hoping.

But discovery we are both fearing.
It could mean for us we must part

Waiting silently as time slowly runs
The hour of their meeting is nearing
