Interesting how it makes its own meaning juxtaposing random lines.
The power of words taken out of context.

Aye...
'Tis true that these poems take on a life of their own with hidden fortunes found therein.
-
-
Uhm... when you have the title and the first line in the new poem... do you then continue taking the next most resent poem, or can you jump over some? Move them around a bit?
-
-
The poems should be taken exactly as they come because that is the way the randomness happens and is the most fun.
-
-
Do the lines need to be in order?
-
-
Oops. That question was already asked. Nevermind.
-
Yes, the poems must be in order for the weirdness to happen.

I missed this one
here was mine ****
Standing alone under amber skies
Slipping through space like a misty cloud
crumbling beneath the weight of time.
You dug my heart out of a muddy grave,
such sharp contrast to your surroundings,
While grey clouds weep upon the ground
and dead end signs.
Your moorland and meadows in shades of green
I have stood here on this land, over the ages.
From time lost ,
Best left forgotten, else it devours ones soul , warps the mind,
Gently flowing, always moving
and you, completely unaware.
Ink scrolled upon a page
only brings on such a deep sinking feeling of despair,
crying out, yet silent
Do they feel its agony? -
Awww, I missed this one. It must have filled up fast.
-
I mised this fun. That's all I have to say!
-
Thank you for hosting this was a fun contest.
Congratulations to the winners.

What a fun and interesting contest this was. With all their "hidden fortunes" the poems held together and made amazing impressions. Thank you for the bronze and your complementary comments.
