Hello everyone!
For some fun (and hilarious) poetry practice, I’ve decided to start a never-ending poem with you. Feel free to add a stanza or two whenever you feel like it.
The Never-Ending Poem
The poem began a little like this:
A long time ago there were words on a page.
Many a poet attempted to join.
There are so many words; who has time to gauge?
The poem was wordy (but so were the poets)
and every new stanza made my headache stronger.
A tree sheds its leaves when the weather gets colder
but new seasons only make poets speak longer.
I can’t wait to see what you all add! To get things started, I’m tagging @libby, @evelyn, @h-jones, since I’ve talked to you in other forms before and know you frequent in the poetry section. Anyone’s free to add as many stanzas as they like, however.
