A CHALLENGE TO POEM OF QUTOES...... POEM COLLAB #2
Category: Personal diaryEarlier in my time here on Poem of Quotes I gave a challenge to the Poem of quotes community. It came out pretty good and everyone involved enjoyed it. 18 poets responded and wrote this.
http://www.poemofquotes.com/members/dark-poetry/what_a_distorted_mirorr_tells_me
I was told I should do it again..... So here we go again.
*Rules*
I will write the first 4 lines
Then I encourage everyone to leave a comment
continuing the poem
everyone adding 1 to 2 lines
continuing off of the comment
before them
(Now last time people got confused on the order of the comments so... Add a number to the beginning of the post telling people what place in the order your in. If you notice that you have the same number as another person look at the times of the two posts.... If you see that your post was after the other person... Repost in the correct order.)
This system is flawed.... and I know it sounds complicated
but believe me it will make everything a lot easier.
Anyone who does this tell everyone else about it
Then I will retype the poem when its all done
You can make the poem go anywhere you want it to
as long as you continue off
of the comment before you
If the comment exedes two lines
Please ignore it
I will not incorporate it
Thank you all and I hope the POQ community can help me make this work again.
Here are the first 4 lines:
I sit here with so much doubt
Wondering what life is about
What is my purpose, What is my fate
So I begin to think of all I love and hate
UPDATE!!!!! ***********************
NO LONGER ACCEPTING ENTRIES. IT IS FINITO.
Thanks to everyone who added. I was a little afraid as to where it was going at first... but I think you guys did a good job.
<Sarcasm> and a huge thanks to those people who could not number their posts, Your inability to follow simple rules made posting comments on this exiting..... because you never know when just one of you could have single handedly fucked over the number system, and made the poem spiral into anarchy. Wouldn't that have just been fun :) </sarcasm>
but in all seriousness.... thanks everybody who posted.
I'll have the poem on my page within a couple days. :)

This makes me love you more but it'll only lead to my doom

Just putting it out there, this is pretty awesome so far darksideofme.Comment by hutwohl58: 2009-11-07
Try this again with fewer persons contributing, maby three, and at least representatives of both sexes.
Hut. No poetry sucks,as long as it helped the author move along. To me a poem I cant relate to is like walking in a dry riverbed, the going is rough and not pretty,just a little rain and the going is a lot easier.Hut
