Every once in a while I hit a block. Something where I need to write. I feel the burn of something deep inside, begging for the light of the computer screen. And sometimes I don't know where to start.
So there's a game I created (or stole from somewhere ~ I truly couldn't tell you which), where I gather random words and phrases from people all over Twitter and Facebook and put them into some crazy semblance of a poem. Sometimes, it's utterly ridiculous. And sometimes it actually comes out with something remotely... semi-profound? You can decide which and tell me in the comments, if you wanna.
I have linked the random words or phrases I've gathered to their originators, just for the sake of your curiosity and my faulty memory when I come back to this later and read it. Thanks to all who participated. It's fun and helps get the creativity flowing again.
Antidisestablishmentarianism
as he stepped through
the hole in the air
he was Death
watching my dreams
replay against a pitch
black sky
of psychobabble
and begin to stare him down
pondering the enchantment
of a not-so-sexy fart
caused,
of course,
by this morning's breakfast:
one free-range egg,
rye toast
and bacon ~
crisp
my perception altered
on the splendiferous altar
of scrumschulescent ennui
he shakes his head,
knowing he's beaten by
the nonchalance
I wield
as I wake again
to fight
another day
