The Exquisite Corpse Server

Welcome to Fuzzy's Exquisite Corpse Server. This server is designed to facilitate the creation of poetic exquisite corpses.

What is an Exquisite Corpse, Anyway?

An exquisite corpse was a drawing game played by the early Surrealist artists. One artist would begin a drawing and then fold over the paper hiding all but a portion of their drawing. The next artist would continue the drawing from there, fold the paper again and pass it along.

In our poetic exquisite corpse, each person adds a line to a poem, only able to see the line immediately before their own.
