At 'imaginary garden with real toads', Magaly asks us to play with randomised word lists in the Exquisite Corpse Solitaire mini challenge, which gave me –
Appearances
Appearances
Chubby night wills the unsightly year
into a dazzling group, vexing skinny people
with chubby coffee cast short of a place.
A flabby hand casts the unsightly state – as a
glamorous book lives quaintly in the world,
or as an attractive book looks in an unkempt state.
And a bald eye will scruffy the word
‘beautiful’ as fact, feeling it a muscular problem –
as a fancy fact feels in an unkempt year.
I am sooo jealous! You got all the yummy alliteration--I love the sound of "fancy fact feels". The first stanza makes the perfect introduction. We see the place and the people... we are readied before we see the flabby hands. My favorite line: And a bald eye will scruffy the world". I love the promised mayhem.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing with poetry and me, Rosemary!
My goodness this is an absolute delight, Rosemary!❤️ I love how your poem rolls off my tongue and the sound in "as a fancy fact feels," You've got me longing for coffee now. *swooon*❤️
ReplyDeleteOh BRAVO! So well done. I didnt know we could use a word more than once. Your poem is scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteI just used what the randomiser gave me, in that order, and was wishing it had not done the repetitions! But, as one of my 'Goddess' friends always says, 'We go with what we are given'.
DeleteYou aced this ... I struggled with it. Great job, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteHa, don't think I didn't struggle.
DeleteYou did a great job bending these words to your will. There's a playfulness inhabiting it that goes beyond the randomness of the word generator. I found myself pondering what makes a thing beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteWow! I am impressed. If one reads this and just lets it settle (not overthink it) it is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI think that is the case with all our randomly generated pieces.
DeleteNicely done, Rosemary. Did you bribe the Randomizer? And you ended it with fact feelings. I never knew.
ReplyDeleteGood Job

Fun! many problems are muscular I find...
ReplyDeleteWow! You get the blue ribbon for these, Rosemary.
