twitter poems
02 Mar 2010

The Dark Ring is a poem about a prostitution ring and from the point of view of a ring leader or pimp who runs such a business.It also includes a “phrase” submitted instead of a word by one twitter follower and I decided to include it for fun. 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

twitter poems
01 Mar 2010

Manufacturing is a poem that depicts a factory or machine shop late at night where the parts it creates are becoming obsolete. Inspired by the 12 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter players today:
@GeB0i (equanimity), @Williamm49 (bibliographic), @dreamon51 (glittery), @KathrynVercillo (worthless), @malenko10 (nightshift), @KookiesKrumble (succulent), @blusol (fruition), @anahbird (panda), @filigreegirl (sigh), @stevejclark (scion), @Jemfyr (mousse), @AttilaBS (cantankerous)

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

an island of bleachy sparkle
ostrobogulous relaxation
your final destination

twitter poems
25 Feb 2010

Imprisoned was written while finding a theme in the provided words. 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

Repair – Random Twitter Poem for Feb 24th

twitter poems
24 Feb 2010

Repair is a poem about robotics and an invention to help repair the infrastructure (roads, buildings…etc) using small insect like robots that can do the work. It was inspired by the 11 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter players today:
@AttilaBS (enthral), @purple_froggy (insurance), @benjphoto (bucolic), @DaneBlogger (remote control), @blusol (flywheel), @malenko10 (compression), @filigreegirl (fructuous), @wishinghearts (puffery), @jodapoet (ecstatic), @cupcakes5 (Wiles), @RyanHanzel (ant)

Repair

The remote control invention
uses technology compression

When they told us “you can’t”
create a robot the size of an ant

A flywheel and scientist wiles
brought fructuous ecstatic smiles

No puffery or praise is required
enthral of what nature itself inspired

Passive bucolic servant creation
insurance for the future of the nation

Repairing roads and buildings with ease
with robots just larger than some fleas
