Poetry Duel - (Game)

[Arie]

The purpose of the Poetry Duel is to build a poem, one line at a time. Much like stories. However, there are rules!

 

1) The start of the Poem is determined by the person who finishes a poem. 

2) You can not finish the Poem you start. (Exception is if a Poem sits for more than 5 days).

3) Claim the Type of poem! (Lymeric, sonnet, free verse) and now many lines until it is complete.

 

4) Be creative and have fun. There is no wrong line in Poetry!

MY START! ? Let's start with a simple Limerick!

The woven weaves of Mother Elgee

Smothers knaves with a decree

A knee you shall bend

The woven weaves of Mother Elgee

Smothers knaves with a decree

A knee you shall bend

and with glee they mend

[SableSage]

The woven weaves of Mother Elgee
Smothers knaves with a decree
A knee you shall bend
and with glee they mend
Though how well they mend no one can guarantee.

I believe you're supposed to pick the next type of poem, and/or maybe the next line?

[Arie]

@SableSage @SinisterDeath That's right! You finish, you start! It's what makes it a Duel!

[SableSage]

Oh my. Sorry, I'll provide the next prompt. 

 

Honestly I have no idea. Is it fine to have a Shakespearian sonnet next?

 

First line:

O mighty man, tall on the field you stood,

O mighty man, tall on the field you stood,

no sword in hand and yet men below yield

[SinisterDeath]

O mighty man, tall on the field you stood,

no sword in hand and yet men below yield
for he wielded the wyrmwood

[Estel]

O mighty man, tall on the field you stood,
no sword in hand and yet men below yield

for he wielded the wyrmwood;

no axe or weapon slashing; a shield

O mighty man, tall on the field you stood,
no sword in hand and yet men below yield
for he wielded the wyrmwood;
no axe or weapon slashing; a shield
of molten rage, a blade of frozen hate

[SinisterDeath]

O mighty man, tall on the field you stood,
no sword in hand and yet men below yield
for he wielded the wyrmwood;
no axe or weapon slashing; a shield

of molten rage, a blade of frozen hate
upon thy shoulders sat a mantle of orange
