Are you up for a group-created poem?
My idea is this: Someone start a poem with one line in the subject box and leaves the message box empty. The next person writes the next line in the subject box and leaves the message box empty. And so on. And so on.

The poem can "go" anywhere. I don't care if it's corny, rhyming or not, sad, funny, weird, or all of the above. Get creative, okay?
