GUIDELINES FOR COLLAB

Sylvia will keep up with whose turn it is and send a PM with the lines to date to the next person on the list. Each person will have 24 hours to add their lines.

Each person adds ONLY 2 lines. Lines 1 and 2, the ending words must rhyme, NO NEAR RHYMES. Lines 3 and 4 the ending words must rhyme, NO NEAR RHYMES. (Rhyme scheme applies to each 4 line verse)

Each line should have at least 6 words, no more than 10.

After you add your 2 lines, send the poem to Sylvia in a PM and she will post to the thread.

Any questions?

Inspiration for the collaboration is this quote:

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
Lao-Tze

First Two Lines

Dreamers whisper among the shadows of birth,
do we control our destiny here on earth?

Dreamers whisper among the shadows of birth,
do we control our destiny here on earth?
or is life simply geared by fate
where happiness and pain lie in wait

It may be hard for some to explain,
but in the end we must all obtain

This is pretty nifty!

Sorry Dee, it was an accident, honest. lol I was working on to many things at one time.

Thanks Britt, trying to keep things moving and Abby it is neat, isn't it. Fun to see what people who never wrote together can come up with.

It may be hard for some to explain,
but in the end we must all obtain
happiness, peace, a calm mind,
and give joy to those we find.
