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"

Bourbon, custard cream or gingernut
I don't mind, need to fill my empty gut

Instead of coffee , think I'll have tea

NanKate Sun 24-Nov-19 21:10:22

Bourbon, custard cream or gingernut?
These are the things I feed to my mutt.

Boris’s dog is best of the crop

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 24-Nov-19 20:54:40

Time for a coffee and a biscuit I think
Need to rescue my mug from the sink

Bourbon, custard cream or gingernut?

Doodle Sun 24-Nov-19 20:03:02

No third line so what can I do
Wait till I’m back from a trip to the loo

Time for a coffee and a biscuit I think

Twirling and whirling and strutting her stuff
You can bet they won't get of her, enough

Doodle Sun 24-Nov-19 19:06:10

She’ll be a star turn when she gets on the floor
They’ll be clapping and cheering and begging for more

Twirling and whirling and strutting her stuff

threexnanny Sun 24-Nov-19 17:17:55

Must get her a stint on BBC's Strickly
Will do it right now and arrange it quickly

She will be a star turn when she gets on the floor

Pantglas2 Sun 24-Nov-19 17:11:05

But tomorrow she might feel a little bit tired
Those dancing steps she’s newly acquired

Might get her a stint on BBC’s Strictly

Rheumatic knees won’t hold her back
She'll dance wildly with the rest of the pack.

But tomorrow she might feel a little bit tired

Doodle Sat 23-Nov-19 21:44:43

Grandma will like to know I want to dance
She’ll be jiving with me given half a chance

Rheumatic knees won’t hold her back

threexnanny Sat 23-Nov-19 21:36:45

Must have lessons to get better
Now should pop along and post a letter

Grandma will like to know I want to dance

JessK Sat 23-Nov-19 21:32:37

Got two left feet so no good to cha cha
Dance just like my lovely Grandma
Must have lessons to get better

Doodle Sat 23-Nov-19 19:51:43

The tango would be a great dance to learn
Especially as I’ve lots of calories to burn

Got two left feet so no good at cha cha

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 23-Nov-19 16:55:01

Not being very agile myself
I'd love to dance instead of being on the shelf

The tango would be a great dance to learn

Doodle Sat 23-Nov-19 16:17:41

Although I may nap and miss the end
I love seeing the dancers twist and bend

Not being very agile myself

threexnanny Sat 23-Nov-19 15:55:20

My thoughts turn to Strictly - tonights TV
Never mind there's always a DVD

Although I may nap and miss the end

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 23-Nov-19 14:32:20

Can't manage a Mary Berry
But James Martin would keep me merry

My thoughts turn to Strictly - Tonights TV

52bright Sat 23-Nov-19 14:05:05

Cooking has won with a tasty dish
I think I'make some chips and fish

Can't manage a Mary Berry

Doodle Sat 23-Nov-19 13:49:18

Saturday TV is either cooking or sport
Remote control battles being fought

Cooking has won with a tasty dish

crazyH Sat 23-Nov-19 12:29:34

Get a good night's sleep
Try to avoid the creep.

Saturday T.V is either Cooking or Sport

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 23-Nov-19 12:19:36

Make sure you lock the doors tonight
You wouldn't want unexpected fright

Get a good night's sleep

henetha Sat 23-Nov-19 10:37:00

They’ll never know how much he was hurting
Serves him right for his creepy lurking.

Make sure you lock the doors tonight

Pantglas2 Sat 23-Nov-19 09:15:18

He squirmed and turned and did the twist
All who saw him thought he was p!!!!!d!

They’ll never know how much he was hurting

crazyH Fri 22-Nov-19 22:05:13

Now he has a hole in his pants
He is invaded by ants.

He squirmed and turned and did the twist

threexnanny Fri 22-Nov-19 21:48:15

He soon saw him off
I can easily scoff

Now he has a hole in his pants
