This is a bit of a forum game, but at the same time it has the capacity to result in a bit of poetry, so it goes here. I'm going to supply a line of poetry, and the following poster is to create a poem using the line I gave as their first. Along with their poem, they supply a line for the next person to write poetry on. No restrictions on the type of line or poetry; just keep the line open ended.

Here's the first line:

A mountain pokes out awkward in the mist

said the flumpy blala
then it got bitten
by an evil mitten
and they all went and had a gala.

With a gloop and a ripple
The leaf fell
Sunk deep into the swamp
Vanishing
For all eternity

Rising in a smoky haze
was the glaze
was not fazed
by the smoky haze.

Bonk!!! Crash!! Crack!!
I think I've broken my back!
An ambulance wails
My face goes all pale
I'll never go rock climbing again.

The door slams shut
Leaving me behind
They all stare at me with their blank faces
Me in my strait jacket
Screaming in agony
They took my opioids away!

This journey
is a journey like no other,
there are no
monsters
dragons
or knights in shining armor,
but this journey,
is a journey like no other

A forgotten line
an empty space
A beginning that never began:
Without being told what to do
We just freeze our eyes and watch
As the world tears itself apart
I never thought it could die so slowly.

Cheer Up Buttercup, its Friday!
I fear your condition is severe
But the weekend is near!
So lets forget that ache in your ear!

The doctor said 'take green tea with thyme.'
But your father says 'Have some playtime!'

"The troll-face cometh!"
I screamed one day with glee.
All the others did flee,
'Cept for the troll and me.
And at that time I failed to see
That trolls are big monstrosities

He ate me and I died.
