Hey, everybody, I

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hey, everybody, I

Hey, everybody, I propose a new kind of round robin: poetry. With a twist. Here's how it goes: the person who starts (that being me) writes the last line of the poem. Next person writes the second-to-last line, and so on until we come to the beginning. That make any sense? Here's the last line: The bits of flame against the sky. Sorry, that's a kind of hard one. Oh, btw, with every post please include the whole poem so far, with your line at the top. Remember, my line is the last one, not the first!

Oops - this really should be in the Inkwell. Sorry. I'll stick with CaC since this is where it is, I guess.

Or if it stays at the back I'll repost it in Inkwell. :P

((Just for the record, 95% of my rhyming poetry is really, really bad. But... this is fun. :D))

Glaring out with a forlorn sigh

(At) the bits of flame against the sky

((Y'see? I added a word, which is probably cheating, and rhymed "sigh" with "sky." o.O I am soooo clever.))

Nah, adding words or changing verb tenses is perfectly legal. :D I ilke it, personally.

((I'll have to add a non-rhyming one now ;) ))

 

Though all was quiet in the forest so deep.

Glaring out with a forlorn sigh,

(At) the bits of flame against the sky.

Every other line is going to be really easy if we stick with this rhyme scheme. :D

Alright, so we just have to make it rhyme with the

original line?
