    This is the opening of my new poem.
    The other words will come later. I hope you like the opening and I hope it caught your attention and makes you yearn for more.

    When I get more I will post it directly. At the moment I am pondering a very strong and charismatic second line.

    Okay, I got two very strong second lines.
    I let you be the judge and pick one (or none). If you pick none I will think of a few others.

    1. 'Rest forever and again'

    2. 'Thy work is done, this is the end'

    i won't pick any of them, cuz it should be your poem. :)

    don't think much, just write the way you feel it. ;)

    Indeed, most poets do that, but I want to be different.
    Creating a poem is a very straining process and I want to ease things a bit by getting help and not having to make all the literary decisions myself.

    thy work is done, this is the end


    That is what I have so far. Now I will be thinking of the third line and I will try to make it as strong and meaningful as the first two. This one goes out to all hippies in general and to the young hippies specifically.
