OOPS!!!

new word: trust

I trust that in the future
you will not forget the new word
because if I need to remind you again
it will just prove that I am a nerd!


new word: humor

new word: humor

A new game to play
Humor is the rule of the day
Laugh out loud
In the crowd
People look
Think what a kook
We don't care
Laugh anywhere.

New word: care

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Speculum

New word: care

To trust another's confidence
the risk is bound to scare
Score of wise and wistful words
encourage us to beware
The harm that surely will befall
those who dare to care.



new word tryst

Epic ...

new word tryst

Upon a graceful morning, whose sunlight dawned so bare and clear,
A shadowed knight rode upon the moor, his visage harrowed and so austere.
He rode to a meeting, a tryst he meant to keep,
with a girl whose image had come to him in the deepest sleep.

Here in this barren land, where no tree dared show a hint of spring,
Here was the place foretold, the field of which he heard a harper sing.
Destiny would play out where three rocks met.
Here would he settle the ancient debt.

The mist rose, and would have chilled his heart
if only it could have got colder, or another shiver impart ...
But the knight was armoured, both without and within,
he rode to his doom, to place yang against yin.

new word: ... I give you no new word ... I give you an unfinshed poem ... continue it ...

He called to her softly, this girl of his dreams
he wondered again, is this what it seems
Is it a battle of swords or of hearts
How much pain would she impart

He rides on, knowing he has already lost
It is a debt to pay, no matter the cost
He sees her in the mist just ahead
And suddenly he knows what must be said


Adding to the unfinished poem...and it still reamins unfinished.

Her beauty faded, time had taken it's toll.
Her smile turned to hatred, then no expression at all.
"You chose my brother and title long years ago, yet hastened his death, planning no one to know.
Why call you me here now with dreams of our love?
My heart is now cold, like the cold mist above."

"Nay shadowed knight, twas not me who called you.
My dreams brought me here, just as yours did too.
Wed to your brother, I was given no say, just a pawn in a game that fateful day"


I'll leave it for others to add or finish!

To continue this epic:


"Testimony of your death in a place far away
Lies and intrigue surrounded my days.
For land and power, My life given with regret
I longed for the moors, where the three rocks met"

"Poison, by an unknown hand caimed his life,
Evil follows evil, and strife breeds more strife.
If my life you require, tis a debt I afford
But know Shadow Knight, your son is now Lord.

I for got to leave a word.

A Testimony of Love for a Pet

My Big Yellow Dog

He's energetic and playful
My big yellow one.
Looks at me with love
My heart comes undone.

He likes to play "chase"
And likes to play "pull"
Likes to eat icecream
He never gets full.

Yes, he's a people-food eater
That's for sure
And not above begging
A treat to secure.

His bark is piercing
with a low throaty growl,
A thief who would enter
Should throw in the towel

A watch dog, protector
Who does his job well
As a daily routine
The mailman can tell.

A puppy at heart
He jumps up alot
At 95lbs, a lap dog
He's not!

Onery but loving
He gives so much fun
I wouldn't trade him at all
My big yellow one.

Resurrection

I must be living in the past tonite ... but I always rather enjoyed this game. Btw -> you do not need to use the word given as a rhyme, just somewhere in the verse, nor does the verse need to be long (it typically wasn't, just look back a page or two for examples)

This thread has had it’s ups and downs,
Mostly laughs but sometimes frowns.
It’s now been dead for seven years,
And that’s quite a time to be in arrears!

I’ll give it yet another chance to live,
To intrigue others collaborative.
It’s really a quite a simple game,
To lose it again would be such a shame!

Just take the word below this verse
And write a rhyme if you’re not adverse.
Give a new word for the next to use,
Just give it a try, you can not lose!


fun
