Amen McTag -

sure we're all friends here, like Dutchy said. But there is little point in this thread (billed as a word game) if no-one adheres to the rules. Sure we can all be chums and write whatever we like, all free and sunshine and smiles, but then why bother? The fun of the "word game" is to come up with a valid, measured response. If we don't we may as well just write prose.

@iamsam82,
to split myself.
Aimless tiffs will never cease,
here's the curly tail.

@Dutchy,
Here's the curly tail;
Aye, here's Fate's flaxen tresses.
Pull them, and own her.

Pull them, and her own
down to the swirling sea
Not to see her drown

@sullyfish6,
Not to see her drown.
The air resound its lament,
shrills of her sorrow.

@Dutchy,
Shrills of her sorrow,
Wails of her woe in turquoise
And in verdigris.

Boil them soft still wearing skins,
