Our never ending poem began yesterday.  Until the 13/02 the poetic form that can be used while contributing in our never ending poem is: Modern Pantoum 

Enter your contribution as a comment below and tomorrow when Our never ending poem will be republished it will include your contribution:)

In more detail:

We are currently starting the 4th stanza to which the following writing rule applies:  each (author of the line 1&2 and author of the lines 3&4 of the 4th stanza)gets to repeat one line(from the 3rd stanza) and write one unique line.

If you have contributed once(today) you will have to wait 24 hours or until someone else adds 2 more lines to our never ending poem and then you can contribute again.   

*If the 4th stanza is complete when you arrive then*

> Stanza number 5: Restart

The very first one: Line 1&2 (are yours but as logical continuation of stanza 4)

Second individual: Line 3(is yours still as a logical continuation)+ Line 4
(it will be nice(not obligatory) and melodic if it rhymes with line 2)  

• As it became apparent a more transparent writing process(optional)is heartwarming  and could be beneficial, inspirational perhaps give a glimpse of what it means to be a part of a writing group to a new visitor of poetbay.com and perhaps future poetbayer and would also eliminate the silent distance between us.

What is meant by 'more transparent writing process' ?

Quaint the loud woman's silent sobs,
Refreshing to see her quiet joy.
Oh my dear ones don't you know?
She descried the wooden duck decoy.

Refreshing to see her quiet joy.
Nearby, children gathered round the lake.
She descried the wooden duck decoy
By the water’s edge a solitary drake.

Nearby children gathered 'round the lake,
Casting crusts on the water to entice
By the water's edge a solitary drake
Caught in ripples among the drift ice. 

It's your turn now! (Will it be you? Yes you.)
