The Quatrain Corpse

Hey folks, easy game here.

Let's write a poem,
4 stanzas, 4 lines each.

The theme is: The End of the World

The first person, myself, will start the poem and post only the final line in the four line stanza here.
The next person will write their four lines after only seeing the last of mine, and will post their final line here, and PM me the entire stanza.

The next person will write based on the previous person's final line, and likewise PM me their stanza.

When we have all 4 stanzas, I'll put them together and we'll see how it turned out.

The idea is that we will connect in the collaboration, in some surreal, subconcious manner. That we will create a cohesive poem that carries a single thought throughout.

Let's go!

My final line:

"that I observed all of this eagerly."

As an empty, watery stone?

That it threatens to set fire to the world.

SOMEBODY HELP FINISH THIS.

Please.

And claim what is mine.

Friends, I present our Collaboration, and Nelson Jenkin's final collaborative endeavor among the pink-skins. If he comes back as a zombie, I will gratefully donate my warm brains to his voracious need. He deserves that much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had the most distinct honor of all,
to witness our dear planet's lifeforce flee.
Though thought I, while I watched yon' towers fall
that I observed all of this eagerly.

Five hours later I found myself
Wondering what it is to be alone
Or not even that. Will the world be meaningful
As an empty, watery stone?

The rainclouds have long since
dried up. The sky is bare.
The sun shines so bright
that it threatens to set fire to the world.

So as the earth turns
And as the stars shine
I look to the heavens,
and claim what is mine.

O.o I was the only one who didn't rhyme. But you knew I wouldn't, didn't you?

Still, the results are pretty impressive, I must say.

Farewell, Nelson.

I feel somewhat disappointed with my stanza after reading all yours.
You wonderously talented people you.

Ah Nelson - A mind the like of which I have never before encountered, and never will again.

Well done, guys! This is pretty impressive.

that there is no way out
