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"

What about the braces though?
They were always sliding, no-no.

I'm all for wearing anything, anywhere

JessK Fri 13-Dec-19 09:49:34

Baggy trousers all the rage
Especially in light beige

What about the braces though?

Doodle Fri 13-Dec-19 00:50:36

Of course they had to be worn with platform soles
Big enough to cover socks with holes

Baggy trousers all the rage

The 70s saw them back in all their glory
When 20" bottoms were almost statutory

Of course they had to be worn with platform soles

crazyH Thu 12-Dec-19 23:48:09

3rd line

The 70s saw them back in all their glory

Didn’t they go out with ark?
They did, but snuck back in the dark

Pantglas2 Thu 12-Dec-19 23:08:12

Who’s that coming downstairs
He’s actually wearing flares!

Didn’t they go out with ark?

Doodle Thu 12-Dec-19 23:03:35

joelsnan grin very good

Mind you now prefer tea and cake
Or chips and a nice plate of steak

Who’s that coming downstairs

Joelsnan Thu 12-Dec-19 22:24:44

I wonder who it will be
Ooo, wish it would be George Clu-nee

Mind you now prefer tea and cake

Doodle Thu 12-Dec-19 22:18:21

Perhaps I’ll get to meet the cast
Meet someone famous at long last

I wonder who it will be ?

threexnanny Thu 12-Dec-19 22:09:50

I need a posh place to go
Then I may take in a show

Perhaps I'll get to meet the cast

JessK Thu 12-Dec-19 21:20:48

I think I'll go out on the town
And buy myself a beautiful gown

I need a posh place to go

Gemini1789 Thu 12-Dec-19 20:50:36

Will be cold tonight on my bonce
I had a warm hat once

I’ll knit myself another
It’s really no bother

I think I’ll go out on the town

Gemini1789 Thu 12-Dec-19 20:46:41

Will be cold tonight on my bonce
I had a warm hat once

I’ll knit myself another
It’s really no bother

Doodle Thu 12-Dec-19 20:01:38

Lindylou23 Thu 12-Dec-19 18:42:11

No one will care
That I have no hair!

Will be cold tonight on my bonce

Gemini1789 Thu 12-Dec-19 18:38:18

I saw some in stunning silk
Perhaps I stop for a coffee with plenty of milk

The charity shop always offers some bargains
It doesn’t matter if there are a few markings

No one will care

So off to the High Street I will go
Looking for kaftans to hide my woes

threexnanny Thu 12-Dec-19 17:25:44

I'll have to learn to love my rumps and bumps
Perhaps a new dress will come up trumps

So off to the High Street I will go

crazyH Thu 12-Dec-19 16:46:46

Oh how I’d love to still be thin
Tried all diets, I can't win.

I'll have to learn to love my rumps and bumps

Joelsnan Thu 12-Dec-19 10:14:06

So no more sausage and chips for tea
My diet is now fat. And calorie free

Oh how I’d love to still be thin

henetha Thu 12-Dec-19 10:02:36

When I came to, I rang the police
As well as a bump I was covered in grease.

So no more sausage and chips for tea

Pantglas2 Thu 12-Dec-19 08:08:22

He bought me a large frying pan, once
Then proceeded to hit me on the bonce!

When I came to, I rang the police
