I’m starting a new thread about poetry. I’ve taken Gemini1789 rhyme idea which I liked.

Each post will be to create 3 lines of poetry. The first line you will be given.

My starter:
- Midway upon the journey of my life
- I met my lover and became a wife
- Many hours were spent out walking
(the first two lines rhyme then importantly the last doesn't)

So the next person - Take the last line and writes two more
- Many hours were spent out walking
- Stopping for lunches and doing nothing but talking
- Days turned into years

Next person takes that last line and writes two more:
- Days turned into years
- And my laughter turned to tears
- We had to say “Goodbye”

RULES
Take the last person's last line
You write another line to rhyme
Then write another line that does not rhyme.
No rhythm necessary.
- 3 lines in total are needed before you post.

The game now starts with the next person taking that last line: "We had to say, "Goodbye"

(I think the first two lines are meant to rhyme.)

Will he let me borrow his smart whites,
And join in the fun and the fights.

What will become of my reputation?

I know I’m accused of naughty flirtation

Have you been accused of unbecoming behaviour ?

crazyH Thu 28-Nov-19 19:55:34

Have you been accused of unbecoming behaviour ?
That's a feather in my cap, not a failure

Perhaps you’re busy and don’t have much time

I’ll improvise one instead

Let me think off the top of my head

Than falling over on my rear

Looking silly, legs akimbo
