It was inspired by the 13 random submissions (in blue) from today’s twitter players:
@lalayu (lentil), @wchingya (mediocre), @hammyhavoc (interradial), @filigreegirl (manito), @darlakrusee (earthquake), @Jan_Geronimo (poppycock), NewYorkChica (chica), @DaneBlogger (idiosynchronicity), @anefallarme (friendship), @stevejclark (inevitability), @Blazing_Minds (publisher), @malenko10 (nalfunction), @JamesBlackLive (harmony)

Broken Friendship

Malfunction of a mediocre chica friendship
harmony lost to some emotional earthquake
one lentil sized poppycock problem after another
unseen interradial manito, a cruel publisher of peeves
whole relationship one blundering idiosynchronicity
the end result reaching a welcome inevitability
henceforth they shall never converse together

It was inspired by the 17 submissions (in blue) provided by the following twitter players:
@wchingya(conspicuous), @PurpleBEffect (rebuilding), @AttilaBS (hedonistic), @filigreegirl (spinifex), @PhitZone (Cheese whiz), @stevejclark (enunciate), @worryknot (arcane), @santasdevil (tornado), @SecretSoul1 (truant), @DaneBlogger (poetry), @stevejclark (malapropism), @darlakrusee (cougar), @wchingya (illusion), @A_Lan (schizophrenia), @ptaylor98 (fondly), @icpchad (interdimensional visions), @vestacaro (swivel chair)

Sanity Loss

Mind assaulted by some arcane tornado
hedonistic interdimensional visions
a fondly remembered schizophrenia illusion
abandoned like some conspicuous truant poetry
head spinning like a rampant swivel chair
thick dreams clinging to your damaged psyche
like Cheese Whiz clings to a wheat cracker
mouth swollen as if stuffed with spinifex
you enunciate a gibberish cougar growl
followed by a nonsensical malapropism
slowly the feeling ebbs, normalcy returning
you spend a moment regathering composure
while you start rebuilding some sanity

Unusual Spectacle

Erudite claiming to be from some great wonderland
prolific mystic in a shimmering black bowler hat
emitting a glaring look of frustration and angst
humour devoid in the nearby broken contraption
cursing his own nimble trust of some mechanic
in loud rhapsodist epithets for all to hear
curious crowds gather around the palm tree
as the wandering magician tinkerer rants
making an unusual spectacle

No More Sleep

Bewilderment of a sleep sequel
waning of some diva forgotten nightmare
ascendant fame and popularity attacked
regretful emotions embellish wickedly
secret letters but false plagiarism
the careful calibration of a deceiver
seeking to eviscerate your life
With a savagely rude force of will
you awaken with hardihood battered
tears thick like Vaseline phlegm
tearing open a sachet of tissues
as you seek to cleanse wicked dreams
with a detergent of positive thoughts
no more sleep will come tonight

all in his hands, a thing called fate

Thanks to the 13 submissions today (in blue) from the following twitter players:
@DaneBlogger (The more I get lost), @GeB0i (sodomy), @weirdopoet (turgid), @PottyMouthCon (seminal), @libertytax13660 (taxes), @filigreegirl (numismatic), @AttilaBS (necromancer), @Blazing_Minds (Gourmet), @omgzam (SEO), @Williamm49 (posthumous), @Jan_Geronimo (Shackle), @SurfCityJay (reward), @pauldsimpson (extortion)

The Dark Ring

The more I get lost in prostitution
new deals found through simple SEO
a twisted necromancer of extortion
lost in turgid gourmet sodomy
that ends in a seminal release
shackle of a numismatic exchange
bitter reward as painful as taxes
yet they all pay and come back for more
shame and dishonor is my posthumous legacy
but for now I reap the rewards of wealth

Manufacturing

Cantankerous nightshift worker
slopping up succulent dessert mousse
like a panda on bamboo rampage

Machinery groans a sigh of equanimity
as glittery steel and iron toil away
a bibliographic scene of manufacturing

Once the epitome of fruition and wealth
construction now wheezes on nearly worthless parts
scion of technology having outgrown the parent

A bell rings signaling the breaks end
the fatigued man returns to hard labor
wondering how long until he is antiquated

10% off on a late night flight
an island of bleachy sparkle
ostrobogulous relaxation
your final destination

I saw insanity and started writing around that word and some sort of mental asylum or prison was the theme that formed the basis of this poem. Today included 14 random words (in blue) provided by the twelve twitter players (yes, one person submitted 3 words):
@coffeetablepoet (ravenous, insanity, presumptuous), @Jemfyr (bucket), @wchingya (diversity), @malenko10 (slaughterhouse), @KathrynVercillo (precious), @shemah (visitation), @Williamm49 (positive), @R_Arblaster (inflexible), @HarleyQuinnAA (Lesson), @RyanHanzel (igloo), @filigreegirl (vagary), @AttilaBS (non sequitur)

Imprisoned

Inflexible slaughterhouse of pain
filled with presumptuous ravenous insanity
bucket diversity of non sequitur behavior
giant igloo of deplorable depravity

Precious logical rationality is blocked
vagary denies even a temporary visitation
no positive lesson to be garnered here, ever
lest you find this escape an eternal temptation
