This weekend I had some friends over for a fun evening. I made mousse (tricky bastard, that), my brother-in-law brought some of his wine (very tasty stuff, that) and we did a bit of the exquisite corpse parlor game. It’s going to take me a little while to clean the images up and post them, but here are the texts we came up with.

The sword glows dark in the
night
Breathless, Waiting, until I can no longer
See the scarlet night
disperse the wine. Forsooth young master
You happen to see flowers in the
gutter ball was the end for him, for now
he.

Brilliant like a hawk in the noon
sun beating boldly upon the shaven scalp that
silhouettes the sky with grandeur and
spaciousness
Simply can’t fill the
Void of shallow darkness awaits
me. Me I am. I am me. You are you.
We forget to pull the plug. the bathroom flooded.

Someone must have unplugged the
sun, home of the fire. Burst forth burning
the last emperor of japan, a silly, silly
man bag of power was the gift she
hoped to be the one whom everyone
loved
Never again. Never again. Never again.
Never leave, never stay, always lost, always
afraid.

And lo, he laid the bare goat
upon the last stair, a clear
slipper feet travel over coals of
hot nights, wild nights, do
it
Damn it to hell. take your bull and go
home; the place I will always
find yourself. Find each other Find love.

In the beginning, there was fried cheese.
Then, you wouldn’t believe
it was a dark and stormy
night. Shattered stars on the horizon’s
wings are all you can eat so have yourself
beer is
good.
Have it your way. Suck it Trebeck.

As the dawn of twilight begins to
set the table up and leave the
house
Decrepit. Flipped and Flopped. Left out in the
rain. It puddled around my shoes, so I decided to
jump around, jump around, jump up, jump up
and the following chickens crowed.
be-kau.

The Read Write Poem prompt this week is to do some collaborative writing. I imagine most of the posts that show up over there will have much more intention applied to them.

    This is great! you must have had a lot of fun.

    I really like these verses:
    Someone must have unplugged the
    sun, home of the fire. Burst forth burning
    the last emperor of japan

    And these:

    slipper feet travel over coals of
    hot nights, wild nights

    I’m going to try this with my family and friends some time.
