Butterflies

I used Crafty Green Poet’s line.

Here’s a line from one of my poems.

We always believed in not believing in something until we do believe

Thanks to all of you for donating lines! I wrote this poem: Alone in the dance hall I'm not sure if this is a finished piece, but I know I'd like to meet the man in this poem!

If everyone who takes a line would also leave a line, we’d have a lot more collaboration! How about some more lines?

More lines from me, haiku. Feel free to change the line length, or whatever-
The distant sun pales
her heart turns to ice again
she walks searching warmth

Snow crusts drought-burned grass
cedar fingers graze thin clouds
hope shines from the sky

Please use whatever line grabs you! But do leave a line of your own. It’s more friendly that way, don’t you think?

since few seem to have a real interest in doing this exercise,, i decided i would carry on… i took the following two lines that i really loved from a poem i was uncomfortable with,, and recreated what i feel is an outstanding verse surrounding it…
the lines:
“entrapped in my own thorns,, dried withered vine
beauty lost, youth misspent, pearls before swine…..”

please feel free to critique…

“pearls before swine”
