Even those throw-together, example poems are lovely!
Mod
so would I write a poem or a prompt?
i added a prompt now the next person writes a poem using that prompt and you also leave a prompt for the next person
Mod
love -God, I love the way he says
my name
when i have make up on my face
but when I don't
he doesn't look at me the same
and it feels as if he no longer
has any care for my name.
(this makes no sense im exhausted lol but I think the meaning is kind of obvious; how some loves are often conditional on the ways in which you fit into the social beauty standard)
next prompt: anxiety?
Mod
"sweating, shaking, breaking"
i look down at my palms,
they're sweating.
i focus on my breaths,
they're shaking.
i try to calm down,
i can't be,
breaking,
breaking,
breaking,
yet again.
next prompt: lies
Mod
"sweating, shaking, breaking"
i look down at my palms,
they're sweating.
i focus on my breaths,
they're shaking.
i try to calm down,
i can't be,
breaking,
breaking,
breaking,
yet..."
i read this like three times
bleck
i don't like it
i've written so much better
Mod
YES TAY
Mod
thank youuuuu!!
"DECLINED"
I know you hear my voice, as I scream your name
I call, I call, gosh I even text
When you do this, it brings me so much pain
decline, decline, next
So, I bring it up to you
''I was busy, I had things to do"
But then I ask your sister
she says that's not true
damn to lie about that
I wonder what else you'd do
can you guess who its for
I know you hear my voice, as I scream your name
I call, I call, gosh I even text
When you do this, it brings me so much pain
decline, decline, next
So, I bring it up to you
''I was busy, I had things to do"

i love itttt
yes i can guess who it's about
*using a prompt i found online lol*"touch"
i'm sure you've seen it;
i'll brush his hand two,
three times if i'm feeling confident
and it means nothing
nothing aside from the sudden blur in my head
and the heat that flushes my face.
it is a pastime,
an activity,
an adventure.
which is kind of terrible, i know.
it means nothing.
i miss valuable touch
i miss how the slightest brush of your arm
would consume me for days
how every flicker of your eyes was rich,
luxurious,
haunting.
this touch is fun,
fleeting,
a risk and a game.
i enjoy it,
but it means nothing.
perhaps i do not miss your touch,
but instead your meaning.
next prompt: melancholy
Second person does the same thing.
At the end of the week I will decide my favorite and make it the poem of the week
In case that wasn’t clear I will put an example
“Trees”
Lovely tall trees
With very green leaves
We all love trees
Except the people with allergies
It makes them sneeze
Apple, cherry lemon and lime
I love trees and
I love them all the time
Prompt:Cars
Vroom vroom
Boom boom
I want a car that will take me to the moon
Quick Quick
Zip Zip
My car can do some very cool tricks
Beep Beep
Honk Honk
I wish my car was a Jeep
Fast Fast
Go Go
In a race my car will never be last
(just don’t mind those thrown together poems, I just needed something for an example)
Prompt:Love
