Collaboration

So this idea popped into my head recently (mostly inspired by one of Mr. Tahmasian's recent posts) and I think it's brilliant. Here's the idea: I post the first stanza of my poem and then, in the comments, you guys continue to write it. It'll be our very own collaborative poem! Also, I just really need help writing this poem and some inspiration from you guys would be very helpful.

You are

by far

the worst thing

that has ever happened 

to my poetry

You see,

I thought that 

if I could write you

a poem

well, then

you'd have to 

fall in love

with me

additions (but not a finished product):


But it turns out
capturing someone's affection
is more difficult than
scooping fireflies into glass jars
and stringing some silly
self-indulgent rhymes together
so it's hardly worth the mention
and me?
I'm finding it hard to
even hold your attention
when I'm just a girl
writing a poem
about a boy
and who cares anyway, right?
because if it's not
scandalous or glamorous
why waste the time?
it wouldn't even make a good headline
Girl Likes Boy
that's old news
so I'm asking my muse
for some help here
a little bit of magic here
so that my words
might just catch your ear
but she just looks at me
with disgust like
"why are you wasting my time?"
she wants nothing to do
with my horrible lines like:
Rose are red, violets are blue
my poetry sucks
and it's all thanks to you
