Poetry Challenge

Write a poem that consists of exactly 16 lines and that contains these three words:

crackle
yellow
slide

The words don't change. They stay the same throughout the entire post.

Ready...set...go!

Nice try untouchable. But you forgot to add the word slide. Plus there's no changing the words in this game. The words stay the same.

crackle
yellow
slide

3 words

pop
cylinder*sp?*
dog....NEXT!!!

The words stay the same throughout the entire post.

crackle
yellow
slide

She hears the crackle of her shattering bones
As her body slams against the hard wall
Pain surges through her head
As his knuckles crash into her skull

She slowly slides down the wall
Her head spinning and her vision blurred
And all she sees before she loses consciousness
Is the back of his yellow Polo shirt as he walks away

She should never have questioned him on his whereabouts
Or demanded to know who that woman was
She understands that she’s brought this on herself
As she comes to and picks herself up off the floor

She makes her way into the bathroom
And looks at her bloody, bruised face in the mirror
She hardly recognizes herself anymore, but that doesn’t matter
All that matters is tomorrow, when he'll promise never to hurt her again

Thanks untouchable. And good job Ismail. You used all the words and there are 16 lines:)

Okay...who's next? Don't be shy, now.

crackle
yellow
slide

Crackle, a insisting noise in the background,
laying, head rushing.
Watch the pale yellow of the room,
fade across, swim and slide off the eyes,
-headache dear?-
a person, a girl, next to you...
Head, jerks back,
(I hope it's my girlfriend)
Reassured, a nights drinking,
did not lead to a nights praying.
The feeling of hands,
stretch across you and in an embrace.
The hangover settles slowly,
throbbing, throbbing,
(Your breath stinks)
Hell, i'll kiss her all the same.

Nicely done:)

ok.. lemme try... lol- just know that i'm a new poet and... im not very good yet so.. here goes

The night was young
I hadn’t turned back
from the crackle of guns
Fear is what I’d lack

As I turned to the west
And to the yellow sun fading
I knew it was time
Death, I know, was waiting

I ran into the fight
Just wanting a chance
To help claim our victory
This was my last dance

Indeed I was right
The enemy shot me down
I slid into darkness
Without any sound

is it ok for slid.. past tense of slide??

He's probably in a bad mood.

My moods last for that long at a time, so i'm sure his can too.

Just defensive :p

My name is 'Sean Walker'

Lol.

*Walks*

You enticed him to begin with, now you complain?

My sexuality has nothing to do with this o.O, and he's a tad to old for me anyways.

Uh, excuse me?

CRACKLE...

YELLOW...

SLIDE!!!

What in the world? I leave for a few seconds and the thread gets desecrated, (although I must admit it was quite entertaining, but still...) HAHA! Okay, back to the topic. In case you all forgot. We were writing poetry here.

Crackle? Yellow? Slide?

...Anybody?

hey, i wrote this in.. a while ago.. the guys were still fighting.. i don't know if you saw it!! lol.. ok.. i know its bad.. but hey.. i like this game!

The night was young
I hadn’t turned back
from the crackle of guns
Fear is what I’d lack

As I turned to the west
And to the yellow sun fading
I knew it was time
Death, I know, was waiting

I ran into the fight
Just wanting a chance
To help claim our victory
This was my last dance

Indeed I was right
The enemy shot me down
I slid into darkness
Without any sound

Nice job abcede! (I'll let you get away with slid rather than slide).

Who's next?:
