Poem Potpourri Poets

Regarding the Poem Potpourri:
I couldn't wait.  I had to try it out.
I have a very rough draft now...and I am goosity-bumply!  I can barely wait to share it on Friday, the 27th!  I'll wait, of course, to see if there are any more lines to come - but right now... oh...my...word!  I'm loving this process!

Please feel free to add your line in the comments below or on some other day this week if you haven't yet.  There's still a week to go.  I'll happily harvest more lines if they sprout!
At this point I've kind of determined that I am going to make this a New Yearly thing - cause it's so much fun!

New thought.  NEW THOUGHT! (Yes, I'm yelling.)
What if anyone who had a mind to, composed a poem at the same time I am?  Same lines used, same reveal day?
Raise your hand if you think that would be fun!  You know it would!
Line submissions deadline would be by midnight, next Friday (21).  I would make sure all the lines were posted on my blog every day that week listed for anyone who wanted to take a poetic shot at unscrambling them and creating a ferocious poem.
The created poem would be posted on each Poem Potpourri Poet's site on January 27, 2017, and linked to Poetry Friday Roundup to get lots of visibility.
I am officially opening this up.  I think it would be fun to see what comes of these lines in all these different brains!

I'll post again on Friday, so more will know about it.  Pass it on!

If you choose to accept this assignment/challenge, here are the guidelines:

1. You may break the given lines up into phrases, esp. if the line is broken into prepositional phrases.  
2. A word used in a line may be repeated elsewhere as needed.
3. You may add or change articles (a, an, the...).
4. You may change tenses, as necessary for meaning.  
5. If you haven't added a line to the poem, you may not add one now. Others won't have it to use.  
6. However, if you can create a brand new line using individual words from the given lines, feel free! Do not do that for the whole poem though - that may be another challenge on another day! 
7. Phrases should still be identifiable even though the whole line may not be in one unit still. (for example: "ignore the awful times" may be used in one place and "concentrate on the good ones" may be in another place).  
8. Remember, these are only guidelines, as it IS poetry and we ARE poets...
9. Rules are meant to be broken.
10. You may make your own rules if you don't like these - and that way you aren't breaking a rule.
11. You need to use ALL the submitted lines in some way.
12. Please copy and paste the list of participants and their lines in your blog so that each is credited, along with some of their sources for the lines!
13. Link up here on that day also for potential extra traffic to your poem!
14. There is no 14.  I just didn't want to stop on 13.

Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
