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"

Looks like his owner with hair like a mop

I’d prefer gin but it’s not good for me

Up early tomorrow to go to work
But under the covers I’d rather lurk

Will there be rain or ice or snow

Watch out for the puddles and wind

Do you think the lot of us have sinned?

Never mind, there's always hope, as Mother says

Make sure your curlers are well covered and pinned

When it’s windy as you go for a stroll

For me run away and confidence
Oh what the heck; who cares?

Hi Dawn22 welcome
You need to start with the last line from the previous post.

I’m made of sterner stuff
But of this weather, I've had enough

Today's a day for lazing and dozing

crazyH Tue 26-Nov-19 09:49:08

I’m made of sterner stuff
Certainly not of fluffy fluff.

I may look like the bag lady

Bellanonna Tue 26-Nov-19 09:58:40

Today's a day for lazing and dozing
I’m nearly asleep, my eyes are closing

I shall enjoy my day

henetha Tue 26-Nov-19 10:14:49

I shall enjoy my day
Even though there's bills to pay.

I'll worry about the money tomorrow

JessK Tue 26-Nov-19 10:35:34

I'll worry about the money tomorrow
Hope it won't bring me any sorry

I will survive, I am sure

threexnanny Tue 26-Nov-19 13:36:07

I will survive, I am sure
Cast out worries, show them the door !

There's only me to keep going
