curon Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Inspired by Aspiring Archivists poetry thread I introduce to you the Wheel of Rhyme where we shall perpetually create poetry together two lines at a time. It's easiest if we rhyme our first line to the preceding second while providing the next rhyme in our second line and so on, but then there are no true beginnings in the wheel of rhyme so who knows what can happen? Either way, we need a beginning and I happily provide it here; in order to set the scene, I take the liberty of putting down four instead of two lines: The source of every syllable and every single thought up word long forgotten, but have you heard? They say, it stirred, some time ago: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
