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"

She looked at me with a cold hard stare

She didn't believe me it was easy to tell
Shouting any more of this and you'll end up in Hell

Doodle Sun 19-Jan-20 22:10:16

Totally aside from the game, do you think we could between us be tending towards writing some bodice ripping romance of the Barbara Cartland ilk? Perhaps we should club together and get a book deal ??

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 19-Jan-20 23:17:32
