Carcass is a poem about a corpse that is being feasted on by lions while vultures try to steal their share. It was inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers.
@KathrynVercillo (plumage), @omgzam (Ducati), @Ileane (relinquish), @minnie_madz (persistence), @AttilaBS (provoke), @anahbird (apple), @stevejclark (turnabout), @Jemfyr (nuance), @therealfracas (ptyalism), @ReagenAllen (twitter), @Poetic_line (penultimate),
@TrinaMb (viable), @Sara_Valor (lamplight), @UnbelievaBeal (extrapolate), @filigreegirl (entre nous)

Carcass

Vultures twitter about entre nous, plumage rustling
a penultimate feast invoking ptyalism around
yet great cats won’t relinquish possession
massive throats purring like Ducati engines
eyes easily able to extrapolate intentions
the birds turnabout and provoke a nuance reaction
cats startled faces aglow like fire from a lamplight
seizing their viable chance with razor beaks
an Adam’s apple torn out and swallowed quickly
before the cats close in and frighten them off
the dance repeats for claim of the carcass
and persistence eventually pays off
