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"

What will he think of the snake on my arm
He'll know this girl can do me some harm.

He'll learn to love me, tattoos and all

WOODMOUSE49 Mon 06-Jan-20 00:54:41

And show off my latest tattoo
I had to wait ages for it in the queue

What will he think of the snake on my arm

mrswoo Sun 05-Jan-20 22:18:46

I only hope I can keep up the pace
I think I’ll dress up in satin and lace

And show off my latest tattoo

Doodle Sun 05-Jan-20 21:48:54

A night on the tiles for me and him
He’s got a good body, he’s been to the gym

I only hope I can keep up the pace

JessK Sun 05-Jan-20 21:22:27

The agency seem to have found the perfect match
Lets hope he's a good catch

A night on the tiles for me and him

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 05-Jan-20 20:53:12

Let's live life to the full from now on
I'm going to keep that promised liaison

The agency seem to have found the perfect match

threexnanny Sun 05-Jan-20 19:46:13

In the end, we'll only regret the chances we didn't take
and perhaps the decisions we didn't make

Let's live life to the full from now on

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 05-Jan-20 18:26:40

What blessings may our lives unfold
Live to the fullest and aim to be bold

In the end, we'll only regret the chances we didn't take

Pantglas2 Sun 05-Jan-20 16:53:55

And end up where we hope to be
With a little serendipity

What blessings may our lives unfold

mrswoo Sun 05-Jan-20 16:41:47

As long as we know the difference though
Through life’s rich tapestry we all must go

And end up where we hope to be

What's the harm in daydreaming
Cold reality can be very demeaning

As long as we know the difference though

crazyH Sun 05-Jan-20 09:41:48

Full of dreams and illusions
Mother says they're all delusions.

What's the harm in daydreaming

Pantglas2 Sun 05-Jan-20 08:59:22

Smashing glass ceilings in the city
I sometimes think I’m Walter Mitty

Full of dreams and illusions

Elrel Sun 05-Jan-20 04:43:02

Maybe a job in finance will make me rich
And I’ll become a hardened bitch

Smashing glass ceilings in the City

52bright Sun 05-Jan-20 01:24:50

Snowdonia would suit me fine I know
but don't fancy dog walking in the snow

maybe a job in finance will make me rich

crazyH Sun 05-Jan-20 01:12:48

Sorry, 3rd line

Snowdonia would suit me fine, I know

crazyH Sun 05-Jan-20 01:10:43

I've decided I need a different part-time job
A mountaineer or a walker for a sprightly dog

WOODMOUSE49 Sun 05-Jan-20 00:39:53

I’ll go for a run to shed some pounds
As I do all my milk rounds

I've decided I need a different part-time job

Doodle Sat 04-Jan-20 23:00:14

But my new diet is underway
All my fat just fading away

I’ll go for a run to shed some pounds

henetha Sat 04-Jan-20 12:33:08

As around my waist your arms won’t stretch
I'm such a greedy overfed wretch.

But my new diet is underway

Pantglas2 Sat 04-Jan-20 08:36:29

But don’t give me those low calorie puddings
Or there won’t be anymore cuddlings

As around my waist your arms won’t stretch

crazyH Fri 03-Jan-20 23:47:12

And I’ll try to eat more veggies
When I go for a meal at Reggie's.

But don't give me those low calorie puddings

mrswoo Fri 03-Jan-20 23:23:31

Our posts crossed JessK

Happy to indulge in all things sweet
This year I’ll try to eat less meat

and I’ll try to eat more veggies

mrswoo Fri 03-Jan-20 23:18:30

Will we have cakes and jam and scones
Or will we be served old chicken bones

With lots of tasty gravy

JessK Fri 03-Jan-20 21:38:03

Will we have cakes and jam and scones
If we do I'll make no bones

Happy to indulge in all things sweet
