The Rhyming Game! - ¡El juego de rimas!

Question

Hello, everyone! Let's start a new game! This one is called "The Rhyming Game". It may seem a little bit challenging at first, but it is actually very fun!

¡Hola a todos! ¡Vamos a empezar un nuevo juego! Este juego se llama "El juego de rimas". Les parece, a primera vista, un poco difícil, ¡pero en realidad es muy divertido!

---

Directions in English:

1. We are creating a poem or rhyming story ONE sentence at a time.
2. Therefore, post only ONE sentence at a time.
3. The structure of the story is that EVERY OTHER sentence will rhyme with the previous one.
4. In other words, rhymes come in pairs of TWO.
5. If you are posting a sentence AFTER two rhyming sentences have already been posted, YOU get to end your sentence with ANY word you want! The person posting AFTER you will have to rhyme their sentence with yours, and so on.
6. The sentence you post MUST have something to do with the previous sentence, thereby creating a story or a poem.
7. The sentence can be long or short and in Spanish or in English.
8. You may post a picture along with your sentence if you want.
9. The game ends when someone decides to post a sentence concluding the story!
10. BE CREATIVE! There is no right or wrong way to continue the story!

Direcciones en español:

1. Estamos creando un poema (o un cuento que rima) UNA frase a la vez.
2. Por eso, cada persona escribirá sólo UNA frase a la vez.
3. La estructura del cuento es que CADA DOS frases se riman con la frase anterior.
4. En otras palabras, las rimas llegan por PAREJAS (de dos en dos).
5. Si estás escribiendo una frase DESPUÉS de dos frases que riman, tú puedes terminar tu frase con CUALQUIER palabra que quieres. La persona quien escribe una frase después de la tuya tiene que rimar con ella, etcétera.
6. La frase que escribes DEBE tener algo que ver con la frase anterior. De ese modo, se crea un poema o un cuento que rima.
7. La frase puede ser larga o corta y en español o inglés.
8. Puedes incluir una illustración con su frase si quieres.
9. ¡El juego se termina cuando alguien se concluye el poema/cuento!
10. ¡ESTÁ CREATIVO! No hay una método mal ni correcto de continuar el poema.

Here is an example of the game/Aquí está un ejemplo del juego:

• User 1: There once was a tall woman who lived by the sea
• User 2: Ella parecía triste cada vez que la ví
• User 3: So I asked her one day, "Are you feeling okay?"
• User 4: Me miró fijamente y preguntó, "¿Por qué?"
• User 5: "Porque eres tan hermosa," Empecé a decir
• User 6: "but your eyes seem troubled and full of fear."
• User 7: Ella se rió, "No estoy deprimida,"
• User 8: "¡la verdad es que estoy tan aburrida!"
• User 9: "Then let's go exploring!" I chuckled in joy
• User 10: "Parece brillante el día de hoy."

And the game keeps going as long as the story continues! I know this seems a little bit complicated, but let's give it a try! =]

¡El juego continúa hasta que se concluye la trama del cuento! Yo sé que parezca un poco complicado, pero...¡vamos a intentarlo! =]

Never fear my chickadee, I will always be here with you.
