Hecate Trivia · Mar 4, 2013

So basically, someone posts a snippet from a poem, and the person below them guesses what poem it is and then posts their own. :3

It's like the song lyric game, but with poems.

I'll start!

<style>  </style> Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

A Psalm of Life, Longfellow

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead --
There were no birds to fly.

The walrus and the Carpenter, from Alice in Wonderland ! (C.L. Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll)

By the old Moulmein pagoda, lookin' eastward to the sea,
There's a Burma girl a-seatin' and I know she waits for me.
For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say :
"Come you back, you british soldier. Come you back to Mandalay."
