The poetry thread

   Just write some rhyming lines if you can,
   To follow those before is the plan,
   Let us hope that the Muse will your pen inspire
   And the `poetic word count will get much higher,
   But try to make it rhyme and no blank verse,
   It's more fun this way, no rhyming sounds worse!
   Don't spend long, just let the words flow,
   That's all from me now go, go go!

   To bow to the poet's thoughts
   a wish for rhymes of many sorts.

      A very good start indeed,
      More rhymes like this are what we need!

   I can't help but think of Matthew Kirk.
   I'm afraid he might just go berserk.
   Instead of passing by without clicking,
   He'll open this thread and start picking
   on all the rhyming words he reads
   and their authors - that's what feeds
   his ego and his anger, you know.
   So instead of a poem maybe I'll just go
   publish a recipe hub instead.
   Perhaps that won't hurt his pretty li'l head.
   Oh that's right! He's way above us there, too.
   Nah... I don't care what he will do.
   He doesn't have to read it, you know.
   Everyone keeps telling him so.
   But if he passes poems by without a mention
   He won't get any of that delicious attention.
   He surely likes to stir the pot
   Cooking up trouble 'til it's nice and hot.
   He's making troll stew --  from scratch, no doubt.
   I'll make it from a box, just to watch him turn red and thrash about.

      Sorry SmartandFun I missed your submission.
      As formatting in italics was my humble mission.

         No need for apologies; I don't mind.
         The italics looks nice. You are very kind.

   A challenge of sorts from the Bard on the isle.
   Poets heed the call, make the green man smile.
   Bard has started, and 2uesday has too.
   Would be a bit lonely with only two.
   Detractors are saying poetry is passe.
   They don't understand the game we play.
   After awhile it's as easy as pie.
   So rhyme now hubbers, it's do or die!

   SmartAndFun and Snakeslane have the Bardic spirit
   But where are all the rest?
   Come on you budding poets,
   With your poetic best!

   I don't like poetry, or rhyming really
   But I have to say this most sincerely
   You guys create some wonderful stuff
   And even though mine is very rough
   And definitely isn't good enough
   I offer in a supportive way
   So poets can continue making hay
   Rhyme with other stuff that sounds like hay
   Even when it isn't spelt the same - example neigh
   And curiously when all is said and done
   I'm sure I'm not the only one
   To notice that the only rhyming pun
   For the critic known as Matthew Kirk
   The only rhyming word is berk.
   
   edit: I thought of another rhyming word but don't want to risk a ban.

   Well, thank you, Mark Ewbie, for giving it a go,
   You made me chuckle, don't you know?

   Politics and religion are not on my writing scheme.
   It is in rhyme and fictional stories that I dream.

   Whatever takes your fancy can inspire your poetry,
   And making dreams come true is the best way to be!
   So thank you, 2uesday, for your words that rhyme,
   This new thread is getting longer all in good time!

    Bard's poetry forum is going slow
    Perhaps the title is not exciting?
    Hub forums not a place that poets go.
    
    Some poets shy away from public show
    Where trolls lure with baiting and inciting
    Bard's poetry forum is going slow.
    
    Poets would rather write than make a show
    Be inspired by something more inviting
    Hub forums not a place that poets go.
    
    A summer lake, a country lane in snow
    Sweet soothing scenes in poetry delighting
    Bard's poetry forum is going slow.
    
    If amid the noise and haste one must go
    Take heed of forum pages troll sighting
    Bard's poetry forum is going slow
    Hub forums not a place that poets go.
