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"

Christmas tree is clothed in glitter
DH is looking much fitter

Now, what's his present to be?

Need some torches in the night
To provide us with some friendly light

Have fun while the goings good
Let’s play hide and seek in the wood

Need some torches in the night

Thankyou WM x

Life's too short to hang around
Or waste time on fury and sound.

Have fun while the going's good

Keep watch on what is underfoot
But please don't pussyfoot

Some owners should take more care
But the walkers should be aware

Keep watch on what is underfoot

And I call "Howdy doo"
Being careful not to step in any dog poo!

Some owners should take more care

The tunes I choose are making many smile
As I stride along for mile after mile
And I call "Howdy doo"

We should copy this happy soul
Today, I'm going to sing as I stroll

The tunes I choose are making many smile

I think I'll knit a tiny hat
To keep him warm, away from cats

He sings such a cheery song
Chirp chirp chirp all day long

We should copy this happy soul

To keep him warm, away from cats

He sings such a cheery song

We need to paint a few more trees
He’s getting cold, got knocking knees.

The snow is falling on its head
There’s lots to eat, it looks well fed

We need to paint a few more trees

A robin flits from tree to tree
It’s very cute, tiny and wee.

Yes, I’ll join you Doodle ?

Icicles hanging from the roof
It’s midwinter. You have your proof

We could paint a winter scene
Footprints showing where we’ve been

Nothing, mind you, too extreme

Give the youngsters a run for their money
Or slow them down by spreading some honey

Some for the boys, too!
And Christmas cake for me and you.

I'll diet again in the new year
But first I’ll enjoy the Christmas cheer.

It’s rude not to so they say
