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

Grey metal waves batter the shore
With hardened resilience
Degrading landscape, soon no more
Lost from steel diligence.

Oh! How can beauty die with such haste
As horrors live so free?
We allow greatness to fleet in waste
While artificial gains immortality

Jester, lone Jester, play me a song
Of all the things that have ever gone wrong
The sky down in flames, wreathing the moon
And al the bad things? Blams the raccoons.

Through fire, through smoke
I fall, hurt and choke
Continuing to drink coke

The deniability of it, the it, any it
an orbit way past the state of it
but what is this it? I can't fathom
what it must be, to drive those that I see insane
but it is it

You mean Icy.

*waves hands around* I hand thanks to everyone.
And you know what it is?

And you know what it is?
The sheer audacity
Is what kills you. Nothing to do
but wait.
and see
and
watch.

Hand-prints on the ground, foot-prints on the wall
looking all around as the ceiling starts to fall
How in the world did I even get here?
All I know is that the end is near...

The ground collapses
My constant relapses
Never stopping, never fleeting
Always constant, so defeating
pushing pressing pounding playing
From this world I am straying
Hold me holding holding cups
As my mind slowly erupts

Bitter memories,
Salted dreams,
Fleeting tenderly
down the stream

I hold my breath,
As my air escapes.
I submerge my head
so the water may drape.

A Pixie better make a real poem from this,
Yet I am not a Pixie, but I hope that's okay,
I remember this thread; It makes me reminisce,
About all the things I've used to post and say,

I don't know what else to say for this stanza,
Maybe I should just stop talking,
Or tell people about how much I love pandas,
The failure of this poem is really shocking.

Yep. I'm definitely stopping after this one,
Or maybe I should continue,
Nah, I'm going to have a bit of fun,
Except, I can't find a rhyme with continue.

A shade darker than my soul
Somehow darker than a hole
I reach out to its beckoning
But find a silent reckoning

They all stare in desolation
Adding to my soul's obliteration
I'm alone, in the middle, I hear my name
And hear the true one to blame

pang seriously you have to give me moody stuff to go on about i cant do these actual beings without making a story sigh

The red herring red herring, a herald
Of the storm coming our way.
A sign of the war quickly approaching.
I don't know what else to say


See this time it rhymed in woo hoo

The sunshine's too bright
