Beat Poetry Generator
I’ll start off with a phrase. The next person to play needs to post a phrase which begins with the end of my phrase. For instance, if the first player says "king of the hill", then the second player might say "Hill Street Blues", the third player ”Blue water leisure centre” and so on.
You should use part of the previous persons phrase to start yours e.g. you could follow ‘king of the hill’ with ‘the hills are alive’.
Your phrase shouldn't begin with anything other than what the player just before you added.
You may change the ending of the previous phrase from plural to singular or vice versa, if you desire. You can also use homonyms and puns. For instance, if the player before you picks a phrase that ends in "accountancy", you might say "sea salt". If you have been left in a tough spot you will get some latitude.
Please don’t try to think about the whole thing just think about your phrase.
OK let’s go!

Surely you mean ...'chimp lodes elfstacks goblinks boggartips'?
Otherwise it makes no sense at all.

It's just one rule for you and loads for the rest of us....and you don't even obey your own rules.
Hmmmmph.
Here's Johnny!
(Which, as I understand it, is a perfectly acceptable and rule following interjection...unlike your own!)

Come to think of it, how DOES one stop such a rampaging, out of control piece of chaos?
This could turn out to be quite interesting...
OK - Go!
OK the original idea was to run all the phrases into each other and so generate a 'beat' poem and you can do that if you like.
But as the game has developed in more interesting ways than originally envisaged I suggest we just carry on adding phrases until it stops.

I have found that this thread is altering the way I now do things. I used to click on discussion comments on ‘recent activity- home page’ to see what other poets were commenting on. I don’t do that any more in case it leads me to this thread - it takes so long to load all the comments that I’m left hanging around cursing. I now go through discussions on the main menu to see latest comments. Perhaps we could have a button like we have on blogs, where you can click on further entries if you want to go right back to the start of the thread – for all those stoics out there who want to keep up with the original beat…
I’ve also got a few suggestions for music tracks you could listen to ;)

"You mustn't say anything against the machine"

I kind of enjoyed it - feel very rebellious now - will have to be an armchair rioter.... Won't be able to sleep - someone turn the machine back on.... (only joking)

However, perhaps the best and jolliest for the Beat Generator is this by the Aphex Twin. It's called 'Come to Daddy.' Paul B. would approve.

I'm away for one day and so much has been posted! Looks like I'll be watching U tube all day tomorrow...

I liked Slipknot best. I normally prefer melodic - but failing that loud and angry seems to do it... Moxy - the saying 'Never judge a book by it cover' never applied to anyone more truly than you! I also think that there was a neat message hidden away in the video about TV inciting our children to violence. I've seen a lot worse videos with no message whatsoever - just lurid violence and torture.
I loved the dancing on John Aikman's - what I wouldn't give for toned legs like that...
Paul - there is nothing like a good revolution - the human spirit needs it now and again!
I'm gonna curl up and go back to sleep again now - no kids to wake me up...
If I find that video of me chopping the cat's head off, I'll post it. x
