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"

Cut down on calories would be a start

Cut down on calories would be a start
I'll think about it while eating this tart!

The best of intentions go down the drain

Gemini1789 Wed 01-Jan-20 22:56:11

The best of intentions go down the drain
Especially when they involve some pain

We all know what we ought to do

JessK Thu 02-Jan-20 09:56:59

We all know what we ought to do
No point protesting you haven't a clue

Get up and do your best

henetha Thu 02-Jan-20 10:22:14

Get up and do your best
And put your resolution to the test.

Let's start today with determination

Pantglas2 Thu 02-Jan-20 10:36:30

Let’s start today with determination
We’ll soon reach the destination

Very soon we’ll be fit and svelte

threexnanny Thu 02-Jan-20 16:27:18

Very soon we'll be fit and svelte
Then even be able to do- up my seat belt!

I hoping for some admiring glances

mrswoo Thu 02-Jan-20 21:22:12

I’m going to try GN’s weight loss support thread
I must get slim - I’ve been too well fed

I think I’ll also try some zumba

mrswoo Thu 02-Jan-20 21:24:51

* ignore my last post- got a bit left behind!*

mrswoo Thu 02-Jan-20 21:27:44

I’m hoping for some admiring glances
When I show off the latest dances

Now all I need is a tutu and tiara

Doodle Thu 02-Jan-20 21:28:37

That’s ok mrswoo try again

I’m hoping for some admiring glances
With a slim line skirt I’ll take my chances

Elastic waists would be more comfy

Doodle Thu 02-Jan-20 21:30:48

Crossed posts mrswoo. I’ll carry on with yours ?

Now all I need is a tutu and tiara
Off to the dance with a girl called Lara

Round and round we twirl away

NanKate Thu 02-Jan-20 22:03:45

Round and round we twirl away
My head’s still turning the next day.

I will take a tablet to clear my head.

WOODMOUSE49 Fri 03-Jan-20 00:19:14

I will take a tablet to clear my head.
Or have a rest and take to my bed

Oh I do love the feel of clean crisp sheets

crazyH Fri 03-Jan-20 00:26:09

Oh I do love the feel of clean crisp sheets
Having someone to change them would be such a treat.

I'll have to marry the Lord of the Manor

WOODMOUSE49 Fri 03-Jan-20 00:29:49

I'll have to marry the Lord of the Manor
Who has such an excellent bedside manner!

He'll bring me my favourite breakfast in bed

crazyH Fri 03-Jan-20 00:35:50

He'll bring me my favourite breakfast in bed
The tray will have a small vase with a rose so red

henetha Fri 03-Jan-20 10:10:44

Next line please Crazy.....

WOODMOUSE49 Fri 03-Jan-20 10:27:06

perhaps Crazy's lost in thought of this Lord!

3rd line for Crazy:

He'll bring me my favourite breakfast in bed
The tray will have a small vase with a rose so red

He suggests a day out riding

Pantglas2 Fri 03-Jan-20 11:18:57

He suggests a day out riding
Or maybe we’ll be hang gliding

Or some such sporting endeavour

WOODMOUSE49 Fri 03-Jan-20 11:24:34

Or some such sporting endeavour
Perhaps he will love me forever

Am I dreaming? Is he for real?

Doodle Fri 03-Jan-20 13:09:11

Am I dreaming? Is he for real
Or is his fortune his appeal?

A butler would be a welcome asset

mrswoo Fri 03-Jan-20 16:13:52

A butler would be a welcome asset
Carrying a tray of cakes and a china tea set

And maybe some chocolate biscuits too

crazyH Fri 03-Jan-20 21:03:40

And maybe some chocolate biscuits too
To dunk in my tea or is that a 'noo-noo'?

Love me or not, I'm not used to 'posh'

Doodle Fri 03-Jan-20 21:33:56

Love me or not I’m not used to posh
But a butler with a tray, oh my gosh

Will we have cakes and jam and scones
