These will post backwards. Should we write with that in mind or expect that, at some point, some great hand (yours), will flip them all and set them right?

Considering this is a poem written in anti-heroic couples, it would only be right to assume it will be written backwards, not forwards, in contradiction to the usual way of doing things.

No, that first post of mine is the end of the poem. You just posted the penultimate couplet. I'm thinking that we can just keep adding to it until one of us puts a stop to the poem by adding a title.

One small request. Refrain from posting anything except couplets (no portraitures) while we're working on this, so the lines can be more easily read together as a piece.

Maybe we should start over again. Your lines, while nice, don't exactly lead into the ones I wrote.

New couplet. You first this time.

I was hoping you would say "start over, with feeling." Please forgive my slowness. I've got fog in my eyes. I will cook up a new couplet soon.
