Game: Poem-maker
Hello, everyone! This is only my second time posting this game (formerly known as "The Rhyming Game"). If you want to see the first game that was played (along with detailed instructions), click here.
Basically, the game is to create a rhyming story, or poem, with each user posting one line at a time.
Basicamente, el propósito del juego es crear un cuento, o poema, que rima. Cada usuario escribirá una línea a la vez.
Rhymes come in pairs of two and can be in either Spanish or English, just as long as it rhymes with the line in its pairing.
La rimas llegan en pares de dos y pueden ser escritos o en español o en inglés, siempre que rime con la otra línea en el par.
Every third line posted begins a new ending rhyme. (For you literature buffs out there, that means the rhyme scheme is: AA,BB,CC,DD, etc.)
Cada tercera línea termina en una rima nueva. (Para los amantes de literatura, eso significa que la esquema de rima es: AA,BB,CC,DD, etc.)
Eventually, someone will post a rhyme which concludes the story and the answer with the most votes will be accepted as the best and that user will, eventually, receive 20 points.
Eventualmente, alguien escribirá una rima que concluye el cuento/poema y la respuesta con más votos serán aceptada como la mejor. Este usuario recibirá 20 puntos, eventualmente.
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."

Once upon a time, when the Earth was first born

There lived an animal that had a large horn.
It struggled mightily, when first it was shorn.
And wandered alone, feeling quite forlorn.
It came upon a farmer one day...
El ranchero lleva puesto un huarache
The farmer walked to the animal and said ¿Has probado encontrar a un amigo en la Red?

No because I find them in the Red Bull pub instead,
It struggled mightily, when first it was shorn.

"Yo puedo ayudarte," dijo el ranchero
"Porque yo soy un amante, no soy un guerrero"
Where will I find such a lady?
"¿Por qué no hablas con el señor Tom Brady?"
The farmer handed the animal a map
He grabbed it and took off running like a champ.
And it wasn't long before he found good ol' Tom
Sitting in his kitchen eating waffles with his mom

As he couldn't speak, he gave a great yelp.
