Tetractys Train, Interactive Tetractys - Come play! Options

[Athena]

Say Boys and Girls and all you Grown Kids, too!  Anyone wanna play with me?

I mean,

we learned what a tetractys is a few weeks ago and several of us tried them.  Now I have an idea I hope will catch on:  

A Tetractys Train!
or Interactive Tetractys

Here's how it would work: I'll write a single or double tet, the next person begins their tet with the last word of mine, the next person begins theirs with the end word on that one, etc.  They do NOT have to be on the same subject, but they CAN be if you wish.  It's all up to YOU! Whattaya think?  Shall we give it a go?

Remember the rules of tets:
First line: 1 syllable
Second line: 2 syllables
Third line: 3 syllables
Forth line: 4 syllables
Fifth line: 10 syllables

If you want to write a double it goes like this: 1,2,3,4,10,10,4,3,2,1.  Every line must be as self-contained as possible not relying on the next line to make its point.

Here comes my first one: (Uh-oh, it feels like a serious one is coming    .... here it comes ............ yess ............ it's coming ......... almost here .......... and yeppers ..... it's a serious one, but that's OK, right?)

Love
a word
that is thrown
around by men
and women alike.  Some people have no
deeper conviction of that term than ants ...
while this great word
means so much
to some
folks.

If you'd like to play, the next single or double tetractys will begin with the word: Folks  I know, mine was done hurridly and didn't come out so well, but I bet you'll do it better!

I'm looking forward to what everyone does with this idea!  C'mon, let's PLAY!  

Always trying to learn,
