Welcome to our game for writers. It is an Exquisite Corpse. An Exquisite Corpse is a writing or art game where you complete the story, poem or drawing in parts. Each author or artist cannot see the previous artists/writers work. In this case we are writing a poem together. It is a poem about anything. This is our second EC. Please try it. Others have had great fun doing this. See our last EC here.
In this case there is no restriction on words. This EC goes until we get to 100. Some numbers may be repeated. If they do they will entered in the order they were received.
Here is how this will work. When you loaded this page there was a number loaded below. It is a random number. In order to play, you will write your random number in the comment below along with 1 line of poetry. For example if your number is 1E, write 1E in the comment with your line of poetry. Write only one line. If you want to write more than one line, reload the page for a new number.
Once we have enough lines between 25 and 100, we will show the results. That means I’ll collect all the lines, put them in order, and then I will publish the poem we have created.

Glittering beams of moonlight radiated through the transparent veil
D
And through the miasmic hum there shone a brilliant note
19. These inconspicuous, tangled things lash me to her berries and thorns, chilling into
reasons I would never even share.
0. Blush rouged on her cheeks, hooded gaze peeked as her hand brushed mine.
yet, it was time to get ready!
7.
He remembered the ocean all around,
11.
I felt it was time to walk away,
I felt it was time to walk away,
2. Warm and vast and alarmingly close
E. If only I had known that my life would not be my own.
17. We lay still and let nature run its course.
9. I hungered yet despised the feast before my eyes.
E As the focus drew in the portrait of her eye, you saw a sunflower in early bloom, the picture panned out a landscape concealed by occasional blinks.
16: cats and dogs heard the silence
17
Dreams crumbled as passion slipped away,unfed
1. Her eyes were full of moonlight even as she swam through the deepest depths.
16. She ran toward the bright lights, her golden curls bouncing, the child’s tinkling laughter rose above the din.
4. Ripping the envelope with hands shaking, alas, I could not read the contents without a fresh pair of eyes.
A A strong throbbing heart pumped through the ears wishing for a fresh pair of eyes and shoes
15 Looking outside the window with winter trapping the body inside and the thoughts traveling overseas
E A deafening silence prevailed with the receiving of an envelope that has been longed for and feared
6A. Two hearts in love giddy from spinning through electric sights and sounds.
9. The billions of planets and stars cannot compete with the bright light of hope.
Ballasts hum the surrogate sound of cells photosynthesizing
7. and the world blinking photographs went from darkness to light and back again,
10. I found happiness in your framed embrace, as we danced across the seasons of life.
B
Clear sky my future it is in my dreams, Dark sky with only tiny stars when I open my eyes
10. Deep in the ocean, he looked through the porthole and saw it
