Collaboration Invitation - Choose a Line

Anyone like to collaborate on a short poem? Pick a prompt and carry on, one line each in comments (you'd have to check back as notifications won't work) The view of the sky does not mirror the ground The key turned twice to unlock beyond the door The empty room holds echoes I hear Energy seeks and energy finds

The view of the sky does not mirror the ground ... Lol ... Unless you are Van Gogh with a two-tone paintbrush. This is not a collab that I am answering, only a nudge I had in this direction. I love this idea of yours. Hopefully PS could design a page where this and other prompts could work - like we did on the blog with the Call & Respond fun we had. :)

I agree, it was a fun game and hard to get going on personal page and the forums are full of spam posts offering black market drugs and prostitutes - so I don't think that's really being monitored well enough haha!

The view of the sky does not mirror the ground, for clouds fluffy white are what I have now found.

A bit too late I'm afraid as all the prompts have been picked up now, thanks for your interest though

This was a fun idea, Dilly. I hope you'll do it again and maybe extend the lines per poem?

The empty room holds echoes I hear, 'tis the future or past slow drawing near, I'm lead onwards, tumbling into time, waiting for the pendulum clock to chime,why do I stall, choose to stand still

Would you like to pick up this one Lin? I think John has stepped out. The empty room holds echoes I hear, 'tis the future or past slow drawing near I'm lead onwards, tumbling into time

Yes, can start a new one on this thread if you like? You can be first line?

I’m assuming it’s a light hearted free for all ~ if a one to one collaboration was sought, please ignore my inputs

The sky, mirror one might need a final line from yourself if possible? I think it's shaped by your vibe now :)

Last ones were one line each but potentially no one was returning to add a line, so I'm happy to continue on the basis of adding a line as the thread is encountered and you didn't add the previous line - let's see how it turns out :)

The key turned twice to unlock beyond the door, Eyes lit up, seeking from love an encore …

The key turned twice to unlock beyond the door, Eyes lit up, seeking from love an encore Gentle spirit, the world now stands still, By grace divine sublime, voids within fill I'm changed, see me for who I am, Beneath my rough exterior, I am a lamb

Energy seeks and energy finds-those who are of like minds They may clatter and clash, But just like water its own level finds. This one looks finished as a nice succinct poem - I'll close this one as perfectly formed already

I might defer back to John to add line 4 if he wants to as I can't follow the line I'm afraid - John do you want to pick up line 4 from my time tumbling line? (Or following line 5 if you like)

The view of the sky does not mirror the ground…it’s fallen into the lake, makes no sound

The view of the sky does not mirror the ground…it’s fallen into the lake, makes no sound The void where I sit, holds firm I find, cravings of ego no longer bind there's freedom in solitude, as thoughts escape, Wisdom of the ancients begins to take shape, who will I be when my senses return, I care not, yielding to the benign bliss burn
