Collaborative Poetry

Based on a pen-and-paper game for writing collaborative poetry. In the game, participants sit in a circle. Each writes a title at the top of a piece of paper, then hands it to their left. The next person writes the first line, then folds the paper so that the next person can only see their line, and so on. At any given time, the only information you have is the previous line.

Similarly, here you can choose to create a new title, write the first line for someone else's title, or add the next line to a poem in progress. Once each poem is at least 5 lines long, you also have the option to finish it.
