I've never written a poem where any line - let alone the first - ends in "of", and I'm not going to start now.

Also, if I run my cursor across the line with the "of", I can see the entire line. Is that "cheating"? (I refuse to google "exquisite corpse" - it would make me a cohort.)

If you want to introduce a new game, I suggest you find a jazzier word than "of" as an attention-getter. I just can't picture the boulevards being thronged with people chanting "of". Even "om" would be better, and it offers many more rhymes and possibilities. Or consider "orgasm" as a crowd pleaser. I think you need an agent.
