A fun and exciting new poetry thread. There is such thing as "one line poetry" but a member suggested we tie the one liners to the fortunes inside fortune cookies. I thought it was a great idea!

Maximum length two lines (for I've never seen a fortune cookie with a fortune longer than that in it)

You can be serious, humorous, profound, and writers from any genre can participate...No shout out needed, just entitle your comment"Fortune Telling" when you put it on the thread....I want to see 100 "fortunes" when I look next :) You may do more than one.

Keep in mind that one line poetry AND the writing of fortunes is art, so use your skills...what would you like to see in your (or someone else's) fortune cookie.

Remember one line, maximum Two lines...NO MORE...just write two separate comments if you have more fortune telling to do...

Have fun, and get those crystal balls out...or those pens...:)
Please restrict "The thread" to the one line poems/fortunes. I'll make a comment thread for comments :)

Happy Saturday...

Claire
