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’d be the prettiest at the ball
The very fairest of them all

Well, a girl can dream

I would dance and song the night away

Who knows what would lead me astray?

Trampling all the flower beds

It's very hard being very good

It’s very hard being very good
I do try, I know I should

But sometimes things are uncertain

threexnanny Fri 06-Dec-19 19:58:38

But sometimes things are uncertain
Perhaps it's best to draw a curtain

After five minutes I've had enough

A few tree branches I need to lop

Now where did I put those lights?

crazyH Fri 06-Dec-19 23:34:02

Now where did I put those lights?
Surely, not in my tights?

I searched high and low

WOODMOUSE49 Fri 06-Dec-19 23:59:21

I searched high and low
Lots are needed to make a show

Found the lights, hidden under the stairs
