On this thread we take the last line, part of the last line or the last word of the poem before and use it to begin the first line of your poem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [COLOR=Indigo][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4]I'll start with an old one i wrote here last year (actually written on the five words game) [/CENTER][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [CENTER][CENTER]A few good nights of sleep [CENTER]can rapid transport one from the end of the rope [/CENTER][CENTER]to a firmer footing plateau, [/CENTER][CENTER]where it is possible [/CENTER][CENTER]to educate oneself by experience [/CENTER][CENTER]to the benefits of putting one foot before the other [/CENTER][CENTER]blindfolded to the past and the future, [/CENTER][CENTER]crossing each bridge [/CENTER][CENTER]as you come to it. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Crossing each bridge [/CENTER][CENTER]as you come to it, is sometimes not so easy especially for those of us with good imaginations we can see the bridge and we think we can accurately predict what could or would lie on the other side and maybe we are not so crazy about the life immediately before us.

dreaming of future happiness
is worth the temporal trials of the present and past learning lessons that will last our fleeting discomforts and desires will soon pass opening a way to a better tomorrow without all the sorrow of the past and the present will be only a fading memory, a painting on a canvas a wave in the ocean so are the days of our lives, the best is yet to come.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."--John14:6
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-- John 3:16 "We love Him because He first loved us."--1 John 4:9-10 "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear ... " 1 John 4:18 |

The best is yet to come. . .
that's what I keep hoping but so far it seems in vain right ones keep coming my way but passing on by not interested in me meanwhile the ones who are either expressing or vibing an interest are the wrong ones. . . anyone I don't want is a wrong one attraction is a necessary element or you're sleeping with your friends. . . I don't sleep with my friends. 我爱希拉 |

I would tell them how I feel everyday
but too many gushing declarations of love are not appropriate to ones friends, it can even be overdone to a lover children, . . . to them you can never say it too much little hearts need reinforcement. :):D;) 我爱希拉 |

little hearts need reinforcement
of willow branches sweeping and sweet grass that kisses bare toes curled like small pearls collecting the dew that whispers "run and roll, jump and sing, find your friends in birds and twigs for you are the finest thing" |

The finest thing in all the world
isn't really a thing. . . at least not in the tangible material sense, it is love, the most precious of the intangible treasures that we can take with us when we leave this world. ;) 我爱希拉 |

Perfect little angels,
Ah yes, I've heard all about them in fairy tales and stories from certain spiritual traditions, and, on occasion. . . caught a glimpse of one in the shining smile of a child, already on it's way to becoming a corrupted grandiose ego via the some training we receive in this world, or rather, lack thereof, which has us floundering and fabricating defense mechanisms which nurse and protect wounded pride or self-esteem in a way that leads to false-pride and grandiose ego puffing. 我爱希拉 |

Plop plop fizz fizz,
the effervescent bath tablets landed in the tub. . . a jacuzzi would be better with some sweet sister and the night air and no-one else around a few tikki torches the only witnesses of what unspeakably passionate things went on.;) 我爱希拉 |

A song can get stuck in your head sometimes!
Have You Ever had that happen? Once my mind was enchanted. . . With "Some Enchanted Evening" Jane Oliver's version, And once I knew a terribly unfortunate fellow who turned a sickly Green after repeated renditions of the "Green Acres" Theme song had played in his head. 我爱希拉 |
