Blind Poem Game....dedicated to our

[ssrprotege]

Dear Core Member!

I did a rough planning and Trinity helped me improve my plan. Special thanks to our deal ol' Trinity. :)

I know there has been this (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) thread. It's similar to this. But the only difference is that you *MUST* hide your lines using a spoiler.

I will demonstrate how this goes.


Person 1:
I was playing a basketball. But
Next person, whoever is continuing, write a subject and two action verbs connected with "and" "but" or "or."

Person 2:
I ran and bumped into
Next person, can you write a noun, just one noun? Oh, and make sure you put the exclamation mark and put some "action" expressions.

Person 3:
SHIT! *crying* :cry:
(Put any instruction here. It can be anything, such as "write a full sentence" or "write one verb only")


And it goes on like this. But the thing is, people should NOT open the spoiler.
Every tenth person (who gets to write #10n, n = natural number) open the nine "lines." Re-organize so that it looks like a 'poem.' I will leave that to the every tenth person's discretion. If it doesn't work, I will leave the game and work as a supervisor and open them whenever I think is appropriate.

Ready? I think the spoiler mode will make this game fun. The "contribute a line to a story" thread would have been fun with the spoiler mode....

Here we go! Let's have some fun!

Next person, write a past-participle form of a verb of your choice and add whatever you like. Make sure it goes along with the verb you chose, though.

[emanon]

Hope I'm doing this right

driven to roar to the top

Next person, write a prepositional phrase.

[Uytuun]

Across the lake the the fairy screamed

Next person, start off with "in" and use a noun that expresses a state of mind.

[ssrprotege]

Across the lake the the fairy screamed

*waiting for Uytuun to put instruction*

[IgnoranceIsKind]

in a large bowl of mash potatoe and garlic

Next sentenced must start with "mixed with".

Edit:

Oh darn, I didn't read the instructions clearly! But it's pretty entertaining anyway. Write on, people!

[Erika Redmark]

mixed with the tears and dead dreams of yesteryear

Next line: the words must be in alphabetical order.

[Homini Lupus]

And better coming down exclusively for gaming hours instead, juvenile kid, leave me now.

Start the next sentence with capital letter.

[Saint]

Erika and Homini,

The instructions seem to be made so that the next person is able to continue the poem in a grammatically correct fashion, not just arbitrary rules.

[Erika Redmark]

(Put any instruction here. It can be anything, such as "write a full sentence" or "write one verb only")

I interpreted that as meaning it could really be anything.

[curiousjane]

He leapt over buildings with a single bound and

Start with a past-tense verb, add a phrase about HOW he did it, ending with another related verb, modified by an adverb.

[ssrprotege]

Erika and Homini,

Sorry for possible confusion: Saint understood what I said.

Begin with a conjunction and a proper noun followed by an action with a dangling participle.

[Erika Redmark]

Haha…oops. (Darn, my next one was going to be "You can't use the letter 'e'"!)

[Saint]

Haha…oops. (Darn, my next one was going to be "You can't use the letter 'e'"!)

I see no reason why you can't put that rule in as well. :D

(But you've still gotta give some grammatical rules, too, so it makes sense when it's read)

[ssrprotege]

(But you've still gotta give some grammatical rules, too, so it makes sense when it's read)

Ya, that's true.

All right, I'm in and vow not to peek.

or drive on in confidence. Watching the road ahead, you will stay on track.

Dangling participles are hard!

Next person: two prepositions, two nouns, two verbs and two adverbs in any order. And per Erika Redmark, you can't use the letter E.

[Erika Redmark]

Looking wistfully through mirrors, at stars shining brightly,

Next person: the above clause is in apposition to the subject of yours, which should come first in that clause. The next line should be a full sentence, and how about not using any adjectives or adverbs? =D

[Erika Redmark]

Oh noes! I killed the thread! *bump?*

[Fridays Child]

Death must be denied!



Frederico grasped the fish between his teeth and danced under the stars while beating his chest with a spoon.


Next line: A whole sentence, using 1 proper noun, 3 nouns, 2 verbs and 6 adjectives.

[Erika Redmark]

Bright cold winter winds brought welcome December; warm rivers became cold, frozen.

(Oy, I sound sorta like Faulkner! >>; )

Next sentence: In the form of a question.

[Fridays Child]

"Why, oh why?" he asked. "Haven't I been punished enough?"

Next sentence: an exclamation, using the word "joy"

[ssrprotege]

Ode to Joy!

Next person, instruct yourself (i.e. write whatever you want). Of course, don't forget to write instructions for the next one. As a creator of this game, I order the next one to open the lines from thread #1 to #22.

But every so often I say to myself:

Next line: a full sentence, and as if a speaker is quoting something he finds particularly deep or pithy.

[faedra]

"Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite

Next line: one adjective, a suitable punctuation mark followed by a closing quotation mark. And then anything you want, but words must have successive number of letters.

[ssrprotege]

;D this is hilarious, keep them coming! I am not linguistically talented enough...so, hopefully....*hunted down*

[Fridays Child]

decomposed". I do not hope women become friends abruptly, otherwise humanities prematurely disintegrate.

Whew!

Next: a whole sentence with an exclamation of annoyance, any verb, and two nouns having three adjectives each.

[faedra]

Stop, for persnickety purple precious Pete's snotty spiny Scottish sake! Or else

Next person: a sentence in future tense, using only words containing double letters.

Mwahaha, this is fun.

And FC, I can't wait to see how you managed the previous one ;)

[TheLastMohican]

Green baboons will soon plummet approximately three feet.

Next: an exclamation containing at least three 10-letter words.

[Fridays Child]

"Blithering impossible stupidhead!" he spluttered as he

Next: an action verb with a descriptive phrase of your choice.







(And I managed 12 words in a coherent sentence, so honour is satisfied, faedra!)

[ssrprotege]

jettisoned his mega-tone cell phone with a broken screen, in order to save the lives of million people on the ship.

Next: A complete sentence of your choice. The number of letters of each word should make up an arithmetic sequence. So, "I am you" makes sense because 1, 2, 3 is an arithmetic sequence.

[Erika Redmark]

I am not just happy; rather, giddily ecstatic.

Next line: iambic pentameter.

[Fridays Child]

I heard the song, and sang alone that night

[faedra]

The rain went pitter-patter on

Next: a household object, followed by an adverbial clause (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.).

[ssrprotege]

the spoons after he dropped his chopsticks.

Next person: write a rhyming couplet satisfying the following conditions:


First line

The number of words in the sentence should be odd.
The number of letters should be a palindrome (e.g. She breaks Elizabeth's drawer now. 3, 6, 10, 6, 3).
The word coming exactly in the middle must be a palindromic word.
Second line

The starting letter of each word should be in a reverse-alphabetical order.
Use any kind of perfect tense.
Must be a simple or complex sentence. No compound.

[faedra]

ssrprotege, you are one TOUGHHH customer. :dead:

Baker orders you to repaper up the french fries.
I have glazed for effect deadly cupcakes - beware allies.

Next person, iambic tetrameter, since pentameter's been done. Use the word 'mattress' somewhere in there, too.

Oh, :idea: we should try doing a blind sonnet.

/randomness

[Erika Redmark]

I laid the mattress on the floor

Next person: start with "and" and include a past-tense verb.

[Fridays Child]

and whirled, dervish-like, to create a crop circle.

Next: a rhyming couplet on the subject of food. Use the word "empathic".

[Allie]

Eat your cherries, fish, and chocolate together I say
To which, Friday's Child responded with an emphatic "OK"!

Next: Do not reference specific food, but include: "FC", and "wonderful recipe".

[Fridays Child]

"It's a wonderful recipe for disaster, FC!"

Next: A sentence that evokes a travelogue.

[ssrprotege]

Someone literally talented make this thread go on, please....:(
