Today’s random twitter poem was inspired by “The Deadliest Catch” discovery channel show, which I saw a previous episode on DVR last night. It contained 16 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@coffeetablepoet (glamorous), @HollyJahangiri (inculcate), @cheth (enduring), @rmilana (solace), @writingnag (tradition), @MichaelVrijhoef (ostentatiously), @Aluwir (piscatorial), @moonmortal (struggling), @franscud (luminescent), @Zorlone (sunburn), @shemah (validation), @filigreegirl (lanyard), @geraldineeliot (thigh), @dreamon51 (excrescence), @RemBeatZ (fruit), @planetjefferson (heinous)
Empty Handed
The enduring ostentatiously piscatorial man
struggling under the most heinous weather
no glamorous validation for today’s catch
yielding excrescence seaweed but no fruit
tired painful tradition through generations
toiling with lanyard and traps for the catch
only solace found in a painful sunburn
which runs from forehead to thigh
luminescent squid jettison in the water
as if to mock the forlorn attempt at harvest
the day will end in hard drink and soft beds
only to inculcate itself again tomorrow
