| Lyric/Poetic Game
Come one come all! This is how it works:
Someone (me) starts with a four (4) line verse for a song/poem, then underneath, writes four words that the next person then has to use.
For example: Quote: |
Originally Posted by Example: The fool is angry
His breath is taken
Led astray
His heart breaking
Elephant
Jungle
Wisdom
Watch | Then the next person would have to use the four words. (Elephant, Jungle, Wisdom, Watch, or whatever the person above you writes down). It's really fun! I've done it at a different forum, and it's well recieved, but I don't know if it'll work on this forum... Give it a shot! have fun! and remember, don't worry too much about the rhythm or anything. As long as it rhymes.  have fun!
Looking out my window
I see the people come out
They all sit motionless
without a trace of doubt
Have
Wild
Name
Kill

| I look at what I have
it's wild and about me
as they all curse my name
their eyes kill what they can see
broken
five
wrong
happiness |

| Another point I forgot to mention: you don't just have to use each word for one line... for example
I might be broken, But I know you're wrong
I've got one hand in my pocket, one hand making a high five
To show you happiness, I'll string you along
Make you feel alive
Saliva
Monkey
Locust
Have

| The saliva has left my mouth.
The Monkeys have gone.
The locusts eat at my couch
Of this, I am not fond.

| There is no beauty left,
only hate and scorn,
the day has yet to break,
yet my mind has already failed.

cheer
bliss
kiss
((oh oops.. I forgot to rhyme... ok all.. it's free verse ))

a grog for cheer on such a night as this
Should one suggest some other is bliss,
I'd suggest mine arse to kiss!

| They booted him out on the street,
where he began a crawl to his Master's feet,
he had naught to fathom the intensity of this man's dispise,
for there was enough to bring about his demise.

faught
open

| For he was ill with that which has no cure,
Though it may be fought 'till man's last breath,
The open wounds it leaves are mortal for
He that liveth has no joy, exept in death.

All the small schoolboy's blushing red
The power of Innocence broken
And now looking to women for adulation

In New York I may never sleep

| The Humble victory declared
like sheep going to a slaughter
The red carpet the color of blood
Blissfully ignorant we pass the debt
onto our sons and daughters
(sorry it was five lines  )
Line
Jolly
Sailor

Make you feel alive | Isn't that Alanis Morrisette? Or are you allowed to find a line of poetry/lyrics with the words and just use it? *confused*
Anyway...
The young sailor puts out his line
With drink he'll have a jolly time
The bait is mice and in a flash
A fish is caught and starts to thrash
Egg
Dentist
Rug
China

The sky cracks in two
The Dentist's in the cupboard
And under the rug is you

but age quickly came upon and overtook.

Was slain the desperate alliance
