Jason Rimbaud Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Since the poetry forum has been a bit quiet lately, I want to spice things up a bit. If interested, I'll begin by posting a single line of poetry. Then, as inspiration strikes, each following member can add the next line. Anyone can make multiple posts as they see fit but allow someone else to post a line from the last line you posted. I'm curious to find out what us Awesome Dudes can come up with. As for form or rhyming scheme, let's let muse decide. I'll start. Untitled Poem Written by: Awesome Dudes Is there some other way out of here Quote Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 This is beginning to sound like a lesson from Despondency 101. Maybe the second stanza lightens up a bit?<g> C Quote Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yes. Exactly. It can be read both ways. And one way is hilarious. Who else but Des could do that? I stand in awe, man. Well, I sit in awe. Standing makes my back sore. C Quote Link to comment
