The light Flicks across the canvas like a firefly at night, As it pauses to heave, it shines more bright, A whisper of death I fear this may bring to light, Caution is spread along the river's might, As I attempt to squash a spider mite, I realize that not every line must rhyme, But still, squashing spider mites takes time,
Another version of this thread would be to write a story. Someone starts a line then the next person follows, etc, etc... much like this poem, except every line doesn't have to rhyme...maybe in another thread, in another time....

I really like this idea. I was trying to do one word at a time but that wasn't working out. Start a new thread. Let's write a story!
You do know you're talking to a ghost from 15 years ago? I like the way you're going with this though, better than the 1-word attempt.
