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"

He soon saw him off
I can easily scoff

Now he has a hole in his pants

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

He squirmed and turned and did the twist

They’ll never know how much he was hurting

Serves him right for his creepy lurking.

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
