A challenge, cried the herald, a challenge for you!
What challenge, asked the king, the challenger who?
Welcome to Inkweb, and please enjoy the first poetry challenge ever on this site! For our inaugural session, there are virtual unicorn rides, blogcorn, and cyber-candy! Yay! Don't forget the pixel sombreros!
!!!
Here we go!
A couplet is a fairly simple form of verse. It's easy to come up with: write two lines that rhyme with each other.
So here's the challenge:
1. Comment with a second line to finish this couplet:
"The Minoan goats loved to think"
2. Write an original couplet of your own! Feel free to share it in a comment below, but you don't have to.
3. (optional but recommended) Answer the poll question at the top right corner of the blog.
4. (also optional but recommended) Check out Iron Wyvern and Coal Ridge! Their links are to the left. I help co-author Iron Wyvern, and Coal Ridge is a blog, mainly for poetry, created by one of the other co-authors! Really, have a great time going through those blogs.

When one's in Greece, one must dress like a Greek,

Just shoot me all you Harvard-goers
Very amusing. Haha.

ReplyDeleteToo bad the boat's about to sink
the Minoan goat loves to to think,
ReplyDeletethat there's really no crack in the ice rink
The Minoan goats loved to think
ReplyDeleteAs they raced 'round the old roller rink
And then I couldn't resist turning it into a limerick (which in turn contains another couplet)...
The Minoan goats loved to think
As they raced 'round the old roller rink
"What a bore life would be
Without Earl Grey tea!"
And the very thought made them all blink.
I see. You anticipated another poetry challenge I had planned to do. Limericks!
