New game: Two Lines

1. A player posts one line from a poem
2. The next player adds the next line; then adds a line from a different poem.

Here's an example of how it works:

1st player: "And then he drank a Dew"
2nd player: "From a convenient Grass"

Then
2nd player adds line from a different poem: "And you O my soul where you stand"

The game allows the players to experience new poems, because they will want to read the poems they are searching and choosing line from.

OK.

I'll get us started:

The craven man in his seat

Now you add the next line . . .

Thank you for playing, cjsummer! Next time use the regular reply function instead of "Quick Reply", so HTML works.

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
--from W. H. Auden's "Funeral Blues"

NEXT:
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
