Rhyme The Line Of Poetry Above Me Game

[Sita Harker]

Thread Paper Poetry

This does not require you to make up poetry if you do not want to.

The first person types a line of poetry, a quotation; the name of the author may be added, though it is not necessary. The second player must then write a line to rhyme with the first, and also add a line of his own. The third player rhymes that line and adds her own, and so on.

You may quote famous poetry or make your own.

"I look upon thee, now, as lost for ever;
To me, at least, it is as if thou wert dead." - Forgotten

And here's the first page's poem completed:

Of flowers: of lilies such as rear'd the head
On the fair Capo Deucato, and sprang
"When I looked in his eyes, I felt the pang
Of true love unrequited- what a shame!"
I do not know my lover's name
Yet I can feel him watching me.
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
This is the man all tattered and torn,
that kissed the Maiden, all forlorn,
that milked the Cow with the crumpled horn,
that tossed the Dog,
that worried the Cat,
that killed the Rat
that ate the Malt,
that lay in the House that Jack built.
amidst the muck and river silt
the fragrant water lily grew
whether the skies be grey or blue,
the seasons slowly turn
Among the path the bowing fern
Blows slow and slient in the wind
And then the pumpkin gave a grin
A mile wide, from ear to ear
The more we talk, the less we hear,
Yet folks keep talking more and more
Harmful wounds can make you sore,
Over time, they take their toll
Down in yon forest there stands a hall,
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
Anyone, of great stature or small,
May be corrupted by the One Ring

Let's see...

"When I looked in his eyes, I felt the pang
Of true love unrequited- what a shame!"  

[rizzyz]

I do not know my lover's name
Yet I can feel him watching me.

So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

that milked the Cow with the crumpled horn,

whether the skies be grey or blue,

Blows slow and slient in the wind.

The more we talk, the less we hear,
Yet folks keep talking more and more.  

[DarknessApproaches39]

Harmful wounds can make you sore,
Over time, they take their toll.
But harmful words are something more-
They can break your soul.  

[Lady Whispers]

In a heart as black as coal
lies naught but anger, bitterness and gall.  

[beaulolais]

Down in yon forest there stands a hall,
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.  

[Eresseawende]

Anyone, of great stature or small,
May be corrupted by the One Ring,
Which stokes the fire, augments desire,
And leaves all reason notwithstanding.
