    This truly shows the depth of the human soul and how simple it can be 6/5

    Sorry, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

    Post a line and it'll be a thread that adds one with each reply. At five lines the 6th poster posts all 5 as one stanza and starts the 1st line of the second stanza.

    Lets see what we can get with two, 5 line stanzas.

    That was the general idea. I’ve been inspired on a few occasions lately, to write a poem focusing on the onset of winter and how it reminds me of Christmas and my childhood. I thought I’d offer up what I had (the first three lines) as a kickstarter for a collaboration, but the moments gone now.

    .. The moment was a moment though. Even if it may not be now.

    I've been inspired
    on a few
    occasions
    to write a poem
    [sigh deeply, step back from
    microphone and stare
    at shoes
    ]
    focusing on the onset
    of winter
    [look in childlike
    wonder
    at flakes from snow
    machine
    ]
    and how it reminds
    me
    of Christmas
    [orchestra plays "Santa Baby"
    pianissimo
    portamento
    ]
    and my childhood
    [weep; glycerin tears
    backstage
    ]
    I thought
    I'd offer up
    [hand on heart]
    what I had
    (the first three
    lines)
    as a Kickstarter™ [consult legal dept.]
    for a collaboration,
    but the moments (plural noun)
    gone now
    [wipe away tears, bask in applause]



    p.s. @OurJud, you can use this at your next open mic poetry slam but I will require a full acknowledgement

    It’s not okay that my plural noun ‘moments’ upsets me so much!
