This game should help keep our poetic skills sharp!
A player will challenge the next player to describe something in verse.
For example:
Describe a sunflower
Next player will write a bit of verse, a couplet, a quatrain or a poem of any length to meet the challenge, then post a new challenge.
To begin:
Describe what it's like gazing into a pair of beautiful eyes

When magic flows from gaze to gaze and eyes touch eyes across the room; a soft caress from mind to mind foretells a heart will meet its doom  okay, next describe when you are moved by music

Imagination takes it's own control
as the mind wanders to and fro
Amidst the visions between the lines
notes take form and dreams combine
We see ourselves in it's meaning
dances possible only in dreaming
Before too long the dream dispels
as the next soliloquy compels.

Procrastination you say? Nah! Time allocation: pleasant diversion, concentrated dispersion; I'll get that done er, in just a short while, gotta shuffle my work pile...DW  now try this one: embarassment

Unexpectedly
eyes are staring
laughter rumbles all around
and fingers point.
The thumping heart within
pushes flames of red
outward.
I feel it rising to my face
warmth, redness
embarassment!
Next... describe the moment of death from the perspective of the dying

Ahh! no pain to dissect
no more disrespect
although, my body is dumped
unceremoniously
but, what do I care now:
hey, who's crying tears?
Got none when alive,
bah! why worry 'bout it?
A new road is opening up...DW
can you express deep dissatisfaction with our human moral insufficiency?
