YCM Cadavre Exquis

[CinnamonStar]

This is not a game, so I hope it’s going to be taken (halfways) seriously.:P

A “cadavre exquis” is a surrealistic writing style. One person writes a word down and then hands the folded paper over to the next person who adds a new word without knowing the previous one.

Here we will make it a bit different. Our goal is to create a poem as a group, but while taking some freedoms from the cadavre system. (Trust me, I couldn’t resist to NOT look at the spoilers.:P)

Everyone posts at least one verse (not only a word) and then the next person adds another one to continue the story.

 

*) Anyone can participate, really. You don’t need any great poetry skills, just make sure you stay on topic.

*) This is NOT one of those “One word story” games and I refuse to move it to the Games section. It’s a more serious forum project, thus any inappropriate or silly 3-words-posts will be deleted. However, you can add more than one line, if you’re in a creative rush.=)

*) This is supposed to become an ongoing story, somehow like an epic poem (not the Internet meme, look up the literary expression if you don’t know it). I don’t have any plan about the content or atmosphere, just don’t post something like this: “And then Chuck Norris came and killed your mum – 12 syllables, HA!”. Make sure your verse is related to the previous one, but other than that, you’re really free to use any form, rhyme scheme or whatever you want.=)

 

 

Here is a start. If this is too confusing/unfitting, I can also come up with something else.

 

Beyond the horizon, beyond the seas

Where echoes whirl into a vast and profound unity

[Skuldur]

on the ground, divided by mountains

There the voice of man can be heard for miles

 

hope you like it otherwise i can change or delete it

[CinnamonStar]

Oh no it's awesome! I'm glad someone replied to this.:P

[Jericho]

A voice sincere, a voice so deep,

a sadness hallowed to a lonely weep.

[bury the year]

Echoes over mountains, echoes over falls.

Continues to penetrate its lonely pensive call.

[Dark]

The water rushing down the stream,

The birds singing, with all their glee,

 

The mountains rising, up above,

The snow is falling, that snow I love.

[Luna Lovegood]

The Sky Shinning Blue and Bright

The shadows dark as night

[vampire's fangs]

as the defiant rays of luminosity from the radiant moon cradle upon me,

not to infest the obscurity,

but to append to my intellectuality and the affection the snow gives this vast stunning envoirment

sry i meant sun and did you like it

[Pikachu]

last 2 don't follow the rhythm....oh yea:

 

Vast and wide the stretching beach

The sight and glance that cannot reach

[Cyber Altair]

Some fool singing along the coast

Of hopeless dreams and crushed hopes

[Pikachu]

And suddenly a wolf joins along

Howling the sad feeling song

[Cyber Altair]

Followed by a pack of viscous hunters

Seeking for a hunt to feed their pride

 

With no compassionate or sense of guilt

they march with the hound,

slowly, slowly, slowly...

[CinnamonStar]

After days of yore, we just keep yearning

For a land, beyond the gates, to nowhere...

 

This has become a bit sad lately.:o

And it doesn't need to follow the rhythm. It doesn't even need to stick with the mood all the time.:P

[Cyber Altair]

The sun is shining beyond the Horizon

To a land of hope of dreams and joys

 

Away set the sailor to some foreign land

With hope of fame and glory and gold

[Jericho]

But darkness set upon his quest

Dashing his hopes and dreams

 

Sink did the sailor's ship

And starve did his kin

[Cyber Altair]

Alone one survived

but didn't his strength and hopes

Drifting along the evil waves

To somewhere far far away

[vampire's fangs]

the land he kissed landing on it for the first time in days,

his duty, his revenge, his honor are to be shaken in the weeks to come,

he thinks of his kin in woe and with dread and fear he walk along da beaches,

he walks, he waits, and waits, waits, waits , waits

[Zack Blaze]

As the light merks among him

So bright yet so dim

[vampire's fangs]

on the inside of his soul he wants to go on but outside on his body he cannot

[Zack Blaze]

So with the power he still has left

He tells himself he'll fight till death
