Rhyme time

[Solivagus]

Just an idea I came up with whilst one night talking on IRC. There's so many rhymes that can, and indeed are, made, that just seem way too short to be posted as poems. This is the place for them. So hre's how it works. The first person (i.e me) starts off by writing a short 4 liner about a topic. he then names another topic, which the next person who comes along must write about, before then naming a topic themselves, and so on until we run out of topics.

 

All games need rules I suppose, so here they are.

 

1. They do not need to rhyme.

2.They do not have to mention the topic directly.

3. They may consist of only 4 lines, no more, no less.

4.The topic may be anything, an action, an object, ANYTHING.

5.You must all bow before me and admit I am god before posting a reply

6. You may ignore rule 4 at your own discretion

7. Broccoli is only a valid topic ONCE ***looks pointedly at Zool***

Right then, ready?

 

First topic then, for me to write I mean, is packing bags.

 

My eyelids now begin to sag,

And I have yet to pack my bag,

And due to vodka cheaply bought,

My luggage counts no longer nought.

 

The topic for the next person: Reading.

[Tanuchan]

Spread all around, there are the cards

sets of many colors, inspiring bards

to ask the diviners, the dreamy seers

to find fate, and help their peers.

 

 

Topic: wind

[Solivagus]

Gusting across this windy field,

Against this force all things must yield,

It's awesome power so easy to see,

As it whips and whirls around me.

 

Next topic: Earth (the element, not planet.)

[Wyvern]

Broccoli vengeance: health the soil rescinds.

Grown to cook, gives Zool and others winds.

Pack your bags when earth transcends to gas,

for noxious fumes shall every pennite pass.

 

Topic: Rhyme Time 2

[reverie]

A riddled rhyme

A test of wit

Come play the game

Stop talking

 

 

Topic: telescope

 

rev...

[Sweetcherrie]

Brings near what’s far

From passed the stars

But just to change our p.o.v.

Why not try…a cup of tea?

 

Topic: a cup of tea

[Solivagus]

Porcelain mug and china saucer,

Britans drink it, least they ought'a,

Made with herbs both varied and wide,

Originally crossed the oceans tide.

 

Topic: Love

Edited April 17, 2006 by Solivagus

[Mynx]

The ever sought after emotion of love

It floats up above us on the air like a dove

So many variations; sane, mad, dry or wet

What some call a virus - no cure found yet

 

Topic: Coke (the cola, not the drug)

[cryptomancer]

I gleefully declair I do not smoke,

Nor drink, nor other leaves toke,

But I to all the caution spoke,

Beware of me, if I aint had coke.

 

 

New topic, Coffee.

 

[Mynx]

*skids back into room and bows before Solivagus*

 

A simple drink so many ways

To enjoy that which gets me through the days

Utterly addicted, what else to do?

Make sure I've had coffee 'fore I talk to you

 

New Topic: Keys

[cryptomancer]

Each soul and lonely heart has keys,

Locked against the times we failed,

We seek and dream as stand on Quays,

And look back upon the ships that sailed.

 

 

*bows to Solivagus*

 

*swoops over Mynx and pats her head* Tag You're it!

 

 

New topic, Golf

 

[Mynx]

Hmm...

 

That wonderful sport involving sticks and white balls

And walking for miles to take part in it all

To professionals it's golf, and half of it's luck

To my Dad, it's always known as *whack!*" !"

 

 

New Topic: Business

[cryptomancer]

Alarm, up, shower, toast and jam,

Coffee, jacket, car keys, traffic jam,

Copy, paste, print.... print, paper jam,

Home, dinner, bed, set alarm for 5am.

 

 

New topic, Visions

 

[Solivagus]

A seers gift, never precise,

Beware of the fortune tellers advice,

Yet heed the words for they may be true,

Though at the time it may seem it can't happen to you.

 

Amazed how popular this is

 

Topic: Keyboard

[cryptomancer]

Sweat upon the keyboard,

Ink upon my tongue,

Visions torn by inkfilled sword,

Until the inspiration is done.

 

 

Its a cult I tell you

 

 

Topic: Spraypaint.

 

[Patrick]

(took the spraypaint topic in the sense of graffiti-ing)

 

Show the world that you were there

It is one thing that you dare.

Some call it vandalism, a world apart

But to you it is simply: art.

 

Topic: grammar-nazi (or grammar-naziness)

[Solivagus]

Watch your writing, Nazi's abound,

Whereever you go, they're always around,

I don't know why, I don't know how,

But I bet they're watching me right now...

 

Topic: Desks

[Patrick]

Oh desks, you wonderful objects

Hiding your insides with what your surface reflects

Quills, paper, various accessories all live in you

Ever and ever the contents renew.

 

Next topic: rhymes

[Solivagus]

Whether short or long,

Made for speaking or song,

These wonderful things,

Have a power that sings.

 

Topic: death.

Edited April 18, 2006 by Solivagus

[Ayshela]

Holding the cold hand of

your abandoned chrysalis,

you struggled so to let it go

i wish i could see you fly.

 

 

new topic: hairdryer

[cryptomancer]

Many a morning the mirror watched my play,

Air breathing through waves of deep brunette hair,

And still at the mirror I start each new day,

*stares at signature pic*, um..... yeah....

 

 

Topic: vacuum sealed

 

[Solivagus]

Foil packed for morning freshness,

So the insides taste thier bestest,

Supposed to taste like they've just been picked,

Instead they taste like they've just been licked...

 

Topic: Bubblewrap

[madhatter]

Bubblewrap makes me smile

Takes away pain for awhile

When I poke I laugh with glee

But when it pops, I flee

 

Next topic: Ninjas

Edited May 4, 2006 by madhatter

[Solivagus]

Deadly warriors all in black,

Enemy targets never do they lack,

Killing with poison, killing with steel,

Never to fail, murder's his deal...

 

New topic: Travel

[madhatter]

Come travel with me

By plane, train, or car

Go anywhere we can see

With you, home is not far
