I will write you a poem. Post the first line, and get a quatrain.
For example:

my desk is ugly, dark and small
it messes up my head
but flowers on my desk are bright
they're purple, yellow, red

:)

I can't get to every post immediately, but I'll do my best to give you all your quatrains today.

How about it?

2. this is Carly's poem
It’s Monday morning, I am not quite awake
Something draws me out to walk in dew
Cold gray clouds create a nasty haze
Parting, they bear my dearest dream come true

5. Westegg's poem.
Last night, in my dream, my wife was not my wife.
I wept but didn't know why and she asked me what was wrong.
I told her "I don't know you. Are we married? Are we wed?"
She said "of course" without a sound. Soon I woke beside my wife
-- where I belong.

(you got a bonus line)

11. Spacemom's poem
I'm so tired, but there's so much to do
Launder the parrot, make jam of bamboo
Hang all the children outside with the sheets
Aw, hell with it all. I'll have whiskey at Pete's.

:hi:

12. this poem is for Parche
It's Monday afternoon and Lynnesin does not love me anymore
She stomped me, slashed me, broke my bones and shoved me out the door
Now it's Wednesday morning, and it's time for me to show
That woman that she needs me, for Lynnesin doesn't know
Shit from shinola! Because obviously she can't see that! It's ME, honey, I am your DESTINY! And as soon as I can scale the wall, talk my way past the guard, slither by the camera and get through your seven deadbolts, you'll understand!
