Alright, here's a little poetry thing I was reading around and found. I'm not sure the purpose of it other than to just write, but I thought it would be interesting and might engage a few people. It would atleast give me more to respond to than just comments under my posts.
The first poster writes a haiku in form 5-7-5, and the responder writes a 7-7. This keep alternating in '5-7-5' - '7-7' - '5-7-5' until we stop. Roger that? Now I'll let the first person who posts a comment in here respond with one, whatever topic you want, and we, the audience will try to respond in a timely manner and keep the ball rolling. First post first served, so if, by some miracle, this thread ever sees more than 1 active person at a time trying to post, just check your post and if it accidentally has someone cut in front of it, just fix your post.
Try to keep responses on topic.. if there *is* a topic.
Set. Go.

OK I Challange you
five seven five is what we'll do
this form is haiku
seven to seven that is me
and so we shall alternate
rhyming is over
so, too, dies the gradeschool antics
unwanted and gone
There's a time and place for words
that match. Be they sticks, light them
A match may flare. Bright,
brilliant in its angry death.
Not my cup of tea.
A small match may burn a house,
But poison in the tea will kill.
Kill it may. It may
I say. Dr. Seuss can rhyme
can you kill in time?
Teeth blackened with ink,
You are what you breathe, Dr. Seuss.
Just shadows and dust.
