poets.
here's something to try out.
i'd like to see if the many gifted minds on this forum can put together the world's longest song.
after reading through the various threads devoted to lyrics, i was interested in seeing what you guys could come up with.
poster 1 will write two lines [a.k.a. "rhyming couplet"], and the next person has to come up with something that fits next. try to make
the thoughts connect, and oh yeah, RHYME.
start a new thought or rhyming pattern wherever you see fit, just try to think as though you were writing a song.
let's see what we end up with.
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

darkness always, everywhere I go
all the roads just don't seem right.

forgiving...But the tigers come at night, with their voices loud as thunder. As they tear our dreams apart, as they turn our dreams to shame."

im just going to ignore dez's line, cause we all know she just wants to be like Chris (of the livid) so:
it seems what i want is just out of sight
and though i try with all my might
Some things take more than a lifetime.
