Let's make some poetry

Topic

Not sure if this is going to catch on or if it’s going be at all comprehensible.

The idea is that someone starts off writing a line of a poem. Let’s write the line in cursive for emphasis and in case you want to write something that isn’t part of the poem you can just write that in regular text. The next poster can then continue to either write the next line of the poem (in cursive) or finishing the poem by saying “Goodbye”. If you write Goodbye in cursive, that won’t count as that’d be a line of the poem.

All clear? I’ll try to start it out in the next post.

I hope the other forum users don’t decide to take the piss

In all likelihood they’ll give this one a miss

May naked Thanos not stop by to try to plant a kiss

Italicizing every line gives it emphasis

I doubled-down on the emphasis to give my brain safe bliss

I then asked the question, “Just what is this?”

and by naked thanos I swear, I did not jizz

Goodbye.

This is what we came up with:

we made a team, or so it would seem

Tally ho fair team to fetch Todd French vanilla ice cream

(italics, Bernadette!)

I did! Thanos un-italiced it.

My dog’s leg can shoot a laser beam.

it’s totally true, and not from some stupid meme

Keep a towel handy Thanos, and ta for all the bream.

It’s one big scheme, or so it would seem

pause, she said

consider the sense of the scene

poetry is not bound by any rhyme, or greater rule, or regime

poetry can be like the wind and driven by the heart

so long as this wind will land, 

and those stirred by the wind still feel the wind, 

and know the wind far more than part,

that is as she said, poetry, the art

Goodbye!

Goodbye? No. No. come back, she said

For I cannot get you out of my head

Without you I’m empty, cold and dead.

And if back to me is where you’ll head

On your way, please get some garlic bread. 

Or perhaps a French baguette instead

Yours sincerely, Fred.

There are other rhyme schemes than AAAAAAAA.
