Group Poem Game!

[Madeline]

This game is a great way to find inspiration and get the creativity flowing! Here is how to play:
1) Someone will comment a single verse of poetry
2) The next person will continue the poem by adding another verse
3) After the 20th verse is written, I will comment the full poem

[Victoria]

Beneath the velvety blanket of night,
Everyone sleeps; snuggled up tight.
Or so they say! But that’s not right,
For from one window shines a light.

[Madeline]

The glowing rays of light pour over the windowsill, illuminating the alley beneath.

[Jen]

A silhouette approaches
the ally light scatters in fright,
A shadowy presence encroaches
the window pane shrieks in delight.

[Madeline]

In a red coat and black boots,
A man steps into the light
A white beard cascades down to his plump belly
A sack of gifts her carries, slung over his shoulder
Whoever could it be?

[Victoria]

With a, "ho, ho ,ho," his big round belly,
Shakes and jiggles, like a bowl of jelly.

[Jen]

Santa, you're early,
But it was my bad,
Not Santa at all,
Just good ol' St. Dad.

[Madeline]

Strolling toward the door he comes,
A lump of something tucked under his coat

[Jen]

The lump wiggles
of its own accord

[Madeline]

Out pops a furry face has Fatger opens the door,
woofing and wagging its tail

[Jen]

Best
Birthday
Ever!

[Madeline]

I rushed up towards my Father
The pup scampering across the the floor

[Jen]

Thank you, Daddy, thank you,
I couldn't ask for more.
