    Ok, so Im pretty sure this goes here and not in Other Trivia, but its the Chain Poem. Its pretty simple, everyone adds two lines to the poem until we get to whenever we think it need wrapping up and then finish it.

    Rules
    1-Nothing over PG13
    2-Try not to mention love if it has to be attributed to a guy/girl, since both will be participiating and it would be hard for them to write about being in love with a guy/girl if they are not gay.
    3-No more than 2 lines, but three if you REALLY need to

    Ok, so the first poem is free verse, no rhyming unless properly suited, and the theme is up to you! And the title we decide on at The End! Also, copy/paste the whole thing while adding on, dont just post the lines.

    Finished Poems

    A Forgotten Soul

    There never was a night darker than this
    No ember lit stars shine through this desolate smog
    As it creeps around your slender lips,
    I look down to my feet and wonder
    Why I should live, or
    When I shall die
    And as the horizon fades to black
    I see the sadness in your eyes
    To what end must suffering creep through you
    Clawing for footholds on your shattering heart
    And with the darkness all around me
    I wonder what brought us here
    Forgotten am I to your thoughtless gaze
    Buried beneath this facade of mistakes
    The mistakes of which can be never forgiven
    Uncovered behind every lie
    Wingless angel, fly not away
    My soul needs your touch mend my wounds
    Capture me and take me home
    Save me from this eternal darkness
    Before the mist, that slithers so soon
    Forces me to crumble under cooking pressure
    For you are my light, your touch brings me back
    You are now my only link to humanity
    As the night spans gray, as night reaches on
    Endlessly on
    Endlessly on I walk alone
    Through this desolate starless smog

    As it creeps around your slender lips,
    I look down to my feet and wonder

    :D CLIFFHANGER >D I wonder who is going to fix the cliff hanger.

    And Moderaters... please keep this in this thread... It might also belong in Other Trivia but I'm sure the poem will be ruined there ><

    you didn't screw up, barely any of the stanzas match with each other, so even if you did no one could notice :D
    But to me what i did kinda seems like a final stanza. Doesn't it? nah nevermind. Doesn't anymore

    Its both, and sure! How about a ballad about buterflys and unicorns... or something way cooler than that. Try to make ever few lines rhyme... and maybe we should repeat a chorus but thats optional.

    I'd like to suggest a chain poem that is about a specific topic that is hard to write about, so then there is a challenge that forces us to dig deep and be expressive in word choice, rythym and nature to save from writing a random chain of words which sound clever together.

    If you don't want to do that then thats fine. But I'll do it if nobody else does lol

    And in addition to that, the finished poem is brilliant. Nobody would suspect it was done by different writers :)
