I’m starting a new thread about poetry. I’ve taken Gemini1789 rhyme idea which I liked.

Each post will be to create 3 lines of poetry. The first line you will be given.

My starter:
- Midway upon the journey of my life
- I met my lover and became a wife
- Many hours were spent out walking
(the first two lines rhyme then importantly the last doesn't)

So the next person - Take the last line and writes two more
- Many hours were spent out walking
- Stopping for lunches and doing nothing but talking
- Days turned into years

Next person takes that last line and writes two more:
- Days turned into years
- And my laughter turned to tears
- We had to say “Goodbye”

RULES
Take the last person's last line
You write another line to rhyme
Then write another line that does not rhyme.
No rhythm necessary.
- 3 lines in total are needed before you post.

The game now starts with the next person taking that last line: "We had to say, "Goodbye"

He was tall dark and handsome . I invited him
I offered him a drink tea, coffee or gin

He declined all my offers

One look at me, he knew he couldn't win.

It wouldn't have cost more than a tenner.

Chivalry is not something he knew
And he drank from a can of Irn Bru

I started to think he needed to diet
I’ll mention it but methinks he’ll deny it

He thinks he has the Perfect physique

I’ll mention it but methinks he’ll deny it

He thinks he has the Perfect physique
Maybe he does with a bit of a tweak

He is kind and caring and also rich

( you dare ! )

I’ll share with you I am not greedy
But I saw him first and I am needy.

While he's away with someone else I will play

If the one before didn't get the gist.

Or possibly be called, by some, a bounder

Choose an easy rhyme end like corruption

Think about the end of your line

Think about the end of your line
This one could have dine, mine but I'm putting swine

My third was to end in challenge but that's tricky to rhyme.

I'm the one who commits that crime.

Apologies I offer, I think I'm forgiven

Must admit ‘challenge’ would have been a mountain to climb

But let’s have the third ending a little demanding
