Today’s random twitter poem was inspired by the recent national spelling be, and I managed to work in these 12 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers below:

@RemBeatZ (longer), @AnnEvanston (strategy), @JenaIsle (fenestrae), @anefallarme (obscure), @VirginIncVuture (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious), @evliving (Sinuosity), @SurfCityJay (methane), @worryknot (inexorable), @heatherpro (unexpected), @Peter_Nehem (platypus), @shaboom (fitfully), @MaestroFM (Le Tigre)

The Last Contestant

The strategy simple
obscure and deceive
a contest of wits

The longer the game plays
odds of winning increase
another contest fails

Clear as the fenestrae on butterfly wings
our challenge is presented before you
the speaker utters the command

Spell “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”
inexorable shock at the unexpected challenge
confidence dissolving like methane vapor

You face the unexpected sinuosity
a word as unique as a platypus
you begin spelling audibly

Nothing but suspenseful silence as you wait
then the crowd starts fitfully clapping
louder than a Le Tigre concert
