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"

The rain is pouring
I’ll slip on this flooring
Never again choose heels

Amee Tue 19-Nov-19 10:36:58

Make some excuse, run out the back
Yikes! I can't button up my mac

The rain is pouring

But what if he hates my shape,
I'll just do my best to escape,

Make some excuse, run out the back

crazyH Tue 19-Nov-19 09:56:47

Meeting blind date for first time
Think I'll wear my dress, in lime.

But what if he hates my shape

WOODMOUSE49 Tue 19-Nov-19 09:51:04

With my lunch date
I mustn't be late
Meeting blind date for first time

JessK Tue 19-Nov-19 09:29:08

Time for some exercise
Shame it coincides
With my lunch date

WOODMOUSE49 Mon 18-Nov-19 23:27:12

My blubber will jiggle
But only if I wiggle
Time for some exercise

crazyH Mon 18-Nov-19 23:24:48

What to do? I must eat
Shall I starve and wait for the treat.

My blubber will jiggle

Too many pork pies
Create fat dimpled thighs

What to do? I must eat

Doodle Mon 18-Nov-19 22:27:57

I need to lose weight
Can’t fit through the gate

Too many pork pies

NanKate Mon 18-Nov-19 21:59:53

No ugly sister am I.
Who eats a delicious pork pie.

I need to lose weight.

WOODMOUSE49 Mon 18-Nov-19 20:56:28

I'm worth it so there
So men and boys out there, beware !
No ugly sister am I

NanKate Mon 18-Nov-19 20:52:42

No I need to be free
And concentrate on ME.

I’m worth it so there ?

gulligranny Mon 18-Nov-19 15:22:33

A gift from a handsome sailor.
Do I want another jailer?

No! I need to be free

NanKate Mon 18-Nov-19 13:59:18

But I lost my glass slipper
Whilst eating a delicious kipper

A gift from a handsome sailor

Doodle Mon 18-Nov-19 13:29:09

I wanted to be Cinderella
With my handsome, dashing fella

But I lost my glass slipper

Pantglas2 Mon 18-Nov-19 10:31:04

In my old frumpy dress
It was meant to impress
I wanted to be Cinderella

henetha Mon 18-Nov-19 09:59:03

What a great party night,
But I looked a fright
In my old frumpy dress

JessK Mon 18-Nov-19 09:56:40

Party's now over
We're rolling in clover
What a great party night

WOODMOUSE49 Mon 18-Nov-19 09:52:37

As we all have a swig
The music's comes on. It's a jig
Party's now over

FarNorth Mon 18-Nov-19 01:27:23

Someone should propose a toast
That is what I like the most
As we all have a swig

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 17-Nov-19 23:26:07

*Looking back - this is the last one correct
A line was missed from one that followed so it threw things out

Hope tomorrow’s back to normal
Tonight’s the night we’re going formal
Someone should propose a toast

Tangerine Sun 17-Nov-19 23:13:41

I must have change
And somewhere within range
There will be, for me, another man

crazyH Sun 17-Nov-19 23:05:34

I'm totally out of sync with this game ?

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 17-Nov-19 22:54:40

I wonder what his cookings like?
Can't smell burning. I like this man, Mike.
The wine is flowing
