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"

But I’ll be happier that’s for sure
No more worries to endure
I’ll soon have this sorted out

I’ll soon have this sorted out
I'll sign up for a boxing bout,
Then I can hold my head up high

MaggieTulliver Sat 16-Nov-19 10:31:03

Then I can hold my head up high
And turn my face towards the sky
The rain will come but then the sun

crazyH Sat 16-Nov-19 10:39:08

But I'll be happier that's for sure
A waist so slim, and me, so demure.
The men are queuing round the corner

MaggieTulliver Sat 16-Nov-19 11:46:02

Hi Crazy, you didn’t use my last line!

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 16-Nov-19 12:10:30

I'll use it MaggieTulliver and use crazyH's first line. smile

The rain will come but then the sun
Perhaps my life will turn around and be such fun
I'll be happier that's for sure

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 16-Nov-19 12:14:31

I've tried to fit in rest of crazyH smile now

I'll be happier that's for sure
A waist so slim, and me, so demure.
Perhaps men will start to queue

crazyH Sat 16-Nov-19 12:28:12

Apologies all round. Perhaps I'm not refreshing the page, because I'm sure I was following am verse, comprising of 'food' and 'chips' etc. ??

JessK Sat 16-Nov-19 21:32:11

Perhaps men will start to queue
To have of me the perfect view
Oh how I wish it was a fact

Pantglas2 Sat 16-Nov-19 22:06:24

Oh how I wish it was a fact
And not merely a stupid act
Committed quickly without thinking

FarNorth Sun 17-Nov-19 00:49:29

Committed quickly without thinking
That's what happens when I'm drinking
I drop decorum like a brick

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 17-Nov-19 01:39:20

I drop decorum like a brick
My life's become no picnic
Hey! It's just a bad day, not a bad life.

henetha Sun 17-Nov-19 12:19:12

Hey! It's just a bad day, not a bad life.
Tomorrow I'll be a loving wife,
But just for today I'm on strike

Pantglas2 Sun 17-Nov-19 15:57:40

But just for today I’m on strike
Everyone else can take a hike
Hope tomorrow’s back to normal

Doodle Sun 17-Nov-19 16:07:32

Hope tomorrow’s back to normal
Tonight’s the night we’re going formal

Someone should propose a toast

crazyH Sun 17-Nov-19 16:24:46

Someone should propose a toast
To GNHQ and all GNers who post

Valeriejane Sun 17-Nov-19 17:54:55

And forget to put the last line in
Which isn't such an evil sin,
But might require a ticking off

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 17-Nov-19 18:59:02

*I'll get us back on track?
I'm sure CrazyH will soon get the knack*

The fourth one is clearly a bit of a nerd.

Hoped the agency had more choice

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 17-Nov-19 22:08:00

Number three was worth a second date. Rejoice!
He invited me round for dinner

He invited me round for dinner.
I think this one could be the winner.

I wonder what his cookings like?

crazyH Sun 17-Nov-19 22:39:57

I was prepared, I'll be a sinnerwink
I was not bothered about the food
