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"

I would look better in a grand ball gown
And just hope that my knickers don't fall down.

I'm not very elegant, hate dressing up

I'm not very elegant, hate dressing up
Better in wellies and walking the pup

If I don't want to bore him I'll have to keep muter

Or find something witty and sparkling to say

When he brings me that colourful bouquet

I'm planning a few days away with him on a city break

I'm planning a few days away with him on a city break

Perhaps it's better, just me and the dog

Oh my ,Pantglas ,you do make me smile

I just don’t believe such matters make you blush

Pantglas2 Thu 23-Jan-20 19:53:56

I just don’t believe such matters make you blush
Trust me Gemini1789 I’m not in my first flush

Of youth anymore, more likely well over the hill!

Yes but I’m sure you remember the thrill

Of a sneaky look across the room

Of a sneaky look across the room
When I'd smile with delight or frown with gloom

All this takes me back to being sixteen again

henetha Fri 24-Jan-20 10:53:46

All this takes me back to being sixteen again
When I was innocent and terrified of men.

The single life is now for me
No more cares and fancy free

I will search for my ultimate dreams

Pantglas2 Fri 24-Jan-20 13:40:28

I will search for my ultimate dreams
I’m not meant to be married or so it seems

But will they ‘still respect me in the morning’?

Gemini1789 Fri 24-Jan-20 18:18:21

Or will this man keep on fawning

You never know with men they can be fickle

As long as he's fed, he'll let me be.

Kissed many frogs, but not found my prince

We'll stay together, till called by the grim reaper.

We plan to see the world in forty days

Gemini1789 Fri 24-Jan-20 22:19:17

We plan to see the world in forty days
Goodness knows how but there will be ways.

Sit on a drone and float up high

Pantglas2 Fri 24-Jan-20 22:20:30

We plan to see the world in forty days
Travel by train, boat & plane, all three ways

During that time it’ll be fifty shades.....

During that time it’ll be fifty shades....
Better hurry up, before my blush fades.

Before I take him to meet my mother

52bright Fri 24-Jan-20 22:47:57

Before I take him to meet my mother
At least she's not as prim as my dear brother

He'll fuss and scowl and ask him his intentions
