something different

Here' s the deal, I' ll write five lines of poetry and leave it hanging. Your job is to write another five lines of poetry. Then after you somebody else writes another five lines. And so on and so on. Your five lines can be in any style you choose and can take any direction you wish as long as you find a way to connect it to the previous poem. Okay, so here goes the first five lines. I' m making up my lines as I go along, so I' m not worried about quality.

In the darkness sits a candle. Alone it flickers
through the changing wind. Open window,
outside brings the breeze. Doom.
The coming storm approaches.
No one is awake to close the window.
