We did a great job of writing challenge poetry from the phrase "in the moonlight shadows dancing".

How about starting a list of phrases here that writers can use in a poem?

Just keep adding phrases until we run out of rhyme or reason!


Here's my suggestion:


this is my house of passage

Good luck!

I'm so glad I discovered the challenges room! (I'm a little slow)

I've been toying with the phrase
"I am a ______ "(insert noun) for a few days and am curious to see if anyone can do anything with it.

I can't think of a decent phrase, so I'm borrowing one that I read in one of Michael's poems...

Here's one that I've always kinda liked, although it does sound rather cliche. However, it's sometimes how I feel, lol.

"Owing my alegiance to no one"

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"
