Curious Storefront – Random Twitter Poem for Nov 12th

Advertise with IZEA Media


Curious Storefront is about a retailer who is a devil in disguise, bargaining souls for promised fantasies and wishes. It was inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@shemah (titans), @mcaliban (sustain), @Footdr69 (Angst), @anefallarme (loathsome), @blusol (countenance), @shonie1966 (teenager), @dreamon51 (haberdasher), @MetallmanX (pyre), @Jemfyr (sugar), @drstar59 (dense), @A_Lan (Nereids), @JeffHicks (serendipity, sanguine), @SurfCityJay (usability), @santasdevil (slideshow)

Curious Storefront

In a distant curious storefront
a haberdasher beckons invitingly
no items of noticeable usability found
nor confections of the finest sugar
opening with a simple slideshow ruse
fantasies to sustain every mortal soul
here minds wander on a daydreams pyre
and sanguine teenager titans gather
chasing comely Nereids in wicked games
dense loathsome serendipity knows no beginning
angst countenance etched on far too many faces
the trap is laid without any realization
a soul bargained in a tilted game
your fate is sealed for eternity

Nice poem, a lot of words....
:)

I can see a bunch of kids playing video games, of course I miss the days of pinball where many could enjoy the spectacle without getting in the way. [Did I just age myself?] ;)

Thanks, I originally was thinking of writing like kids playing a video game and chatting on twitter about it later, but as I was writing it, it turned more story like.

That was fun to read! Once again you've pulled it off. Bravo!
