BellaOnline Forums Books and Music Poetry New Poetry Game: First/Last Letter of Poet's Name

Starting a new game, got the idea from one in which I've been participating, "First and last letter Worldwide Recipe Game!" with Allyson Elizabeth D´Angelo on her USACook/HomeCook forum.

Mine is called "First/Last Letter of Poet's Name." Here's how it works:

1. The first poster names a poet using first and last name.
2. The first poster then identifies the last letter of the poet's last name.
3. The next poster will name a poet whose first name begins with the last letter of preceding poet's last name.

Example:

Emily Dickinson
Next: N

Norman Dubie
Next: E

Hi, Mona,

Thanks for participating. It's ok if we repeat, because it will be impossible to keep track if very many play or if we play for very long.

Glad to have you aboard! Robert Frost is always worth repeating, IMHO.
