Dear Readers,
It looks like we’re pretty desperate. For the sake of poetry, we’ll readily bear anything. The last round brought us an invasion of cockroaches. We wonder what will happen this time…
A bout of saporous lolly acne? A rain of worthless bitcoin that darkens the skies for months? Our legs dancing an endless Eskimo jig? It’ll be worse than the ten plagues of Egypt from the Old Testament!
Still, this won’t stop us from providing you, our Dear Readers, with a safe haven for your collaborative efforts. “Collaborative efforts?” we hear you say. “What collaborative efforts? And to what purpose?” Well, let us fill you in…
1) We provide the first line of a poem.
2) You write the next line.
3) You submit your line via the comments section of this very post.
4) We pick the line we like most and add it to the poem.
5) We publish the first and second lines in a follow-up post.
6) Steps 2-5 are repeated until we have a masterpiece!
See? It’s the very definition of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! So, have fun! But, please, whatever you do, don’t fling us in dat dere briar patch! We can handle pretty much anything but not rejection!

You’re most welcome 🙂 But can you tell me how you find out people’s names so fast?

No problem, Nadja! When you respond to comments in the comments section of the WordPress dashboard, people’s names sometimes appear in their email addresses (listed below their username and site name). That’s how yours came up. By the way, if you’d prefer me not to use your actual name then please do let me know so that I can remove it… and I owe you many apologies if this is the case!

your idea remember me a society game or party game call CADAVRE EXQUIS (or consequences in English) where people start with a noun, the next one add a verb, the next add…
they made a film on this principle : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadavre_Exquis_premi%C3%A8re_%C3%A9dition
