Thanks to the following twitter followers for providing the 11 random words (in blue) today:
@jedi_bloggers (pylon), @SurfCityJay (catastrophe), @Jemfyr (cobalt), @filigreegirl (amulet), @concisionflux (bloomery), @hectica (xanadu), @purple_froggy (scouting), @JenaIsle (gluconeogenesis), @barbehr (disgust), @patartist (euphoria), @wishinghearts (miracle)The Cobalt Amulet
In a xanadu temple long abandoned
guarded by an intricately carved pylon
there lying on an altar for centuries
an artifact rumored to be of great powerAn explorer scouting the next big find
the treasure forged by no known bloomery
glitters against the ancient backdrop
the woman can’t help but pick it upWearing the artifact around her neck
at first a sense of euphoria tingling
degrades to catastrophe and disgust
as the cobalt amulet disrupts metabolic functionAt first interrupting gluconeogenesis
then her lungs and heart begin to quake
prayers for a miracle barely escape her lips
before everything she knows empties in whiteA presence felt now inside her body
something very old, ancient and cruel
its release an accident, yet most welcome
the world shall now know its doom-Poem by Dragon Blogger

24 Sep 2009
Today’s poem is another story type poem about a Lumberjack who cuts into a magical tree. It is inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter folks:
@kateblogs (sunshine), @Zorlone (Gesundheit), @RemBeatZ (conjunctions), @SurfCityJay (rhythm), @concisionflux (phobophobia), @filigreegirl (intaglio), @santasdevil (lumberjack), @anefallarme (employment), @dreamon51 (burl), @JenaIsle (apoptosis), @xlifegames (peace), @rockalong (clambake), @SusanBerland (blasphemy), @wishinghearts (late), @hectica (blunted)Heart of the Tree
Sunshine and a slight breeze
lumberjack laboring late in the day
employment disturbing nature’s peace
conjunctions of trunk and saw blade
cutting short the tree’s normal apoptosisA sudden interruption
perhaps stuck against a burl
quick attempts to cut further denied
instead the tool is torn free
blade blunted and teeth brokenA cloud of sawdust
the burly man violently sneezes
nature mocking with a silent gesundheit
when the dust settles something seen
in the center of the treeA glimmering green
shines from within the cut
some sort of intaglio stuck in there
as hard as an oyster shell at a clambake
the man stumbles backwardFear sets in
as if suffering from phobophobia
the light begins to fade
as if it were a dying heart
beating its last rhythmWhat blasphemy had he done?
terminated some vegetation deity?
or just some abnormal plant
whichever the case that day
he never cut another tree-Poem by Dragon Blogger

18 Sep 2009
Strange Little Mouse is a tale about finding a small critter in the backyard and was inspired by the word mouse and erinaceous (which means hedgehog family). Thanks for the 9 random words (in blue) provided by the people who played the twitter poetry game today:
@rockalong (magnetism), @Jemfyr (Sparta), @purple_froggy (pencil), @AnnEvanston (bumblebee), @RemBeatZ (erinaceous), @purplefrogcat (mouse), @concisionflux (chatoyant), @SurfCityJay (acquisition), @manitisle (sincerity)Strange Little Mouse
One day as a child, I was on a mission
to bring home a most unique acquisitionHe was no bigger than a bumblebee
digging in roots, around my treeAppearing as an erinaceous like mouse
I brought him home inside my houseAs small as he was inside my home
it must have felt like Sparta or RomeA playful critter he was, he kept nibbling
fancying and biting at my new chatoyant ringMagnetism of food, finally getting him still
I measured him against the length of a pencilThough this story seems a slight unreality
It is told with truth and pure sincerity-Poem by Dragon Blogger

17 Sep 2009
Today is my 200th Random Twitter Poem, and the 18 random words (in blue) inspired me to write a modern day mythical tale. Thanks to the followers below who participated today:
@cheth (zenith), @anefallarme (patience), @Jemfyr (oracle), @RemBeatZ (lamprophony), @TrinaMb (duchess), @santasdevil (flight), @GinosEastDfld (lunch), @CynLuscious (audacious), @LStephenCleary (malaprop), @rockalong (revile), @concisionflux (anniversary), @RobinJP (landmark), @nottern (twitter), @IntegralChaotic (equilibrium), @blusol (judicious), @elizasea (exaltation), @AnnEvanston (impossibilities), @summerbreeze80 (conundrum)History of the Statues
What was to be a landmark anniversary
celebrating a judicious wedding this day
interrupted at its zenith unexpectedly
by a woman dressed in the robes of an oracleAn audacious woman, patience depleted
and like a spoiled royal duchess
deprived of her noon lunch
started spewing malaprop and revileHer lamprophony echoed across the hall
suddenly impossibilities started occurring
flashes and fire exploded from her fingertips
crowds took flight as equilibrium went spinningThe mystical exaltation subsequently ended
with the witch casting one final spell
the celebrating couple petrified in plain sight
their love encased in eternal stoneThe chaos and confusion creating a twitter storm
fact and fiction blurred when reaching the world
now people pay visit each and every day and listen
to the history and conundrum of the royal lover statues-Poem by Dragon Blogger
What do you think of my 200th Twitter Poem, leave me some feedback. Honestly, myself I read the poem back to myself several times and don’t think its one of my better ones, but my wife liked it.

The Illness – Random Twitter Poem for July 20th

20 Jul 2009
Today’s random twitter poem The Illness tells of the struggle of a classmate and friend who became sick with a nigh incurable disease only for a last ditch long shot to work. Thanks to the following twitter followers for providing the 14 random words (in blue) today:
@JenaIsle (desensitization) & (pneumococcemia), @jmbuckingham (patient), @StarMars (classmate), @RemBeatZ (abrasions), @SurfCityJay (pillar), @jeremylewit (servile), @johnjriewe (leaden), @shemah (proposal), @anefallarme (anticipation), @worryknot (inveterate), @R_Arblaster (deforestation), @lejonprime (splendor), @filigreegirl (portico)
The Illness
Once a classmate, now a patient
pneumococcemia like illness
carving out blood cells
abrasions like a deforestationLeaden thoughts and hopes
desensitization settles in
weeks spent in a medical portico
approaching the bitter enda proposal of radical treatment
anticipation of success was slim
a chance that had to be taken
family and friends console themselvesA miracle or gift from the heavens
a lucky number plucked from god
servile inveterate virus succumbs
recovery a pillar of splendor-Poem by Dragon Blogger
