Laser Revealed is about an engineer about to reveal a new powerful laser to a waiting crowd, after making a minor adjustment. Today’s words were surprisingly challenging for me, or maybe my inspiration was muted. The word commutate was very difficult to fluidly work in the poem and all of the words had so little in common it was hard to envision what would come out. Thanks to the following people for submitting the 9 random words (in blue) today:
@filigreegirl (Doff), @coffeetablepoet (malapropism), @BlogLuvr29 (intuition), @GeB0i (derivative), @Ileane (ergo), @or1gb1u3 (pester), @cybilscribbles (imagine), @stevejclark (flamethrower), @Piratelover22 (commutate)

Laser Revealed

One last adjustment continues to pester you
as you commutate the beam by flipping a switch
heat expands feeling like a flamethrower
success reached by some derivative intuition
test being ready, ergo you doff the screen
astounded crowd reduced to malapropism
imagine the potential of things to come
a powerful laser is now revealed
