Falcon2001 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 I propose a game, wherein these rules are used - One: the first player (me) shall name a word. Two: The second player (whoever posts next) shall make a poem from that one word. Three: Upon writing a poem, the player chooses a word to continue on down the line from the poem he just wrote. Words cannot be reused.. And so on and so forth. Words should be short and open to interpretation - Psimon's poem Torn is an excellent example. I will start this off with a word suggested by #thepen: tea i stare down at the cup hoping to divine a meaning of some sort possibly a reference to a greater purpose is this future clear enough to see in a muddied cup of water and leaf filled with broken stems and torn leaves i wonder if possibly the allegory present is the whole message God saying look at this look at your life reflected in a mere cup of tea but in the end it is a chilling message delivered in a warm package Alright, next poem starts with the word... Present.
Falcon2001 Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Posted April 18, 2005 In other news, I apparently missed cryptomancer's game. Feel free to play anyway, or let this die out of natural causes.
Katzaniel Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 This is different from crypt's game, as from what I understand the word does not have to start the poem, or even be in the poem. If that's the case, what's wrong with two games? Present Now. Now what? Just now. Then. There? No, then. Do I live in the now, and tear down the others, Do I enjoy to the fullest, and wrestle my brothers? Can I love life's game, and never another? Or maybe live in the then, desiring to my past, Wishing for those days, letting life fly by fast, Looking over my shoulder at what has just passed? Or live in the future, hoping for new things, Seeing with narrow vision the possible anythings, Always working toward some specific somethings? Maybe I can live in the now, Helping others and showing them how, Maybe I can live in the then, Enjoying my past and remembering when, Maybe I can look to the future, Setting goals and seeing them mature, Maybe I can be a combination of these, Taking all the good and none of the fleas. Now. Now what? Now... be. New word: Jump

Bboy Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 -Was lookin' back at my reflection To see what I could see. I was only kinda shocked That I wasn't lookin' at me. -Was lookin' back on old feelings, So I could make 'em brand new. They came in a new light Good thing I got a new window, too. -So now the world's different, But I guess I never changed. I'm just seein' light Through a different window pane. Uhh...that was kinda wonky. I tried, though. =P New word... ... Breakdancing. Go for broke, guys.
