Gambling Bug: Random Twitter Poem for Jun 20th

Categories:

twitter poems

by Justin Germino

Today’s poem Gambling Bug depicts how all personality types can be gamblers and was my creative way to implement the 14 random word (in bold) provided by the following Twitter players: @zg_legacies (arachnophobia), @blognetworking (passion), @wippy_ (poker), @goodyniosi (genteel), @trainlearnlead (Trust), @radityadji (palpitate), @greatgothninja (solstice), @volusiaforobama (Mormon), @kujen92 (friendship), @joannecipressi (spontaneous), @bovelett (superficial), @aluwir (endoplasmic), @besoyt (popinjay), @giuliettaspeaks (Flea)

Definitions provided by dictionary.com
Popinjay is a person given to vain, pretentious displays and empty chatter; coxcomb; fop.

Gambling Bug

Trust in this
spontaneous friendship
passion for gamble
simply superficial

While the genteel
palpitate with worry
the poker spiders;
their arachnophobia

Solstice in the bluff
taming Mormon to popinjay
just another endoplasmic
gambling flea at large

    Awesome poem, Justin :D
     
    It is one true talent :) I like the line “passion for gamble simply superficial” the best – I think it rhymes the best :D

       @Jeevanjacobjohn Thank you, the rhyming was unintentional I usually don’t make my prose rhyme.

    • dragonblogger

      @SariJoMogol Thank you, I am flattered.

      • SariJoMogol

        @dragonblogger YW! Did I get anywhere close to what you were feeling? #poem

        • dragonblogger

          @sarijomogol Yeah, basically the addiction and underground of gambling how any genre of person from pious to cocky can fall prey.

        • dragonblogger

          @sarijomogol Mostly I just write what comes to my head without even knowing what the end result will be until it’s finished.

        • dragonblogger

          @sarijomogol Have you ever watched my video on how I create a Twitter poem? http://t.co/9KPdOOlJ gives you insight to how I work.

        • SariJoMogol

          @dragonblogger Oh! I do that with my big mouth! =D I haven’t seen ur vid, #inspirechat put the link, and I went for it, found your words :)

        • SariJoMogol

          @dragonblogger COOL Vid.Very clever. Totally educational for yourself! Show me what you can do with #circumambulate. My favorite word!

        • SariJoMogol

          @dragonblogger #TrueDat Hubris trips giants who are mostly legends before the fall anyhow. :0)

        • SariJoMogol

          @dragonblogger I meant educational for you 2 look up new words, BUT – cool poems and process you shared in your video. I can’t #Tweet&Cook

        • dragonblogger

          @sarijomogol Thanks, oh yeah I learn new words all the time. Some poems I have to look up 5-6 words to find definitions.
