Re: Instant Muse Karma

Need help coming up with an idea for a poem. Look what I found! It's the

Instant Muse Poetry Generator.

That's right. Use it and you're just a click away from the first line of a new poem.

Have fun.

Tips to consider before you proceed:

Don't press "create" over and over until you get a line you like: random input must be truly random, not selected, to be valuable as a jumping-off point.

click, create: In the kettle of paradox the cages milk, click, create: In the attic of gravity the whalers gaze, click, create: In the matrix of harmony the children groan, click, create: In the kitchen of oppression the tombs gain

I guess I blew that all to hell...

about paradoxes
that cages milk.

Don't sweat it my dear. I did the same thing. (And quickly decided I didn't want to write a poem that started with "In the...." Oh well. Maybe I'll be hard up for a first line one of these days and "In the..." will sound pretty good).

in the moment
between breaths
he found a tattered
sense of worth

scattered images
of the year gone by
scrapbook pictures
ragged, torn edges

trashcan overflowing
with emotions
he’d thrown away
only saving numbness

in the moment
between breaths
he found the will
to turn away.


Sorry cutes....couldn't resist...

You're letting that av near you?

And your sig line is hysterical.

It reminds me of the time the preschool teacher called me into her office and said "Tell your son to stop explaining infinity to the other children. He's confusing them." (He told me--at age four-- "infinity is when numbers never stop." Works for me...)

Chip off the old block. lol.

 

[The_Fool]

No.

I don wanna.

[WickedEve]

Not the foot. Remember the toe thing?

Laryngitis

from black tea,
with honey and cream,
to spiced chai,
then mint, yet

I can't scream,
only bottom-lip whimpers
of bitten sighs.

 

[Angeline]

Damn....Can we make Eve do it too? No, wait a minute, what am I saying. Neither one of you can do this because I suck (at poetry) next to you guys....

Eve owes me a challenge poem! And she knows why! It's because she started that Disco Inferno poem challenge and then forgot about it. And I actually wrote a sonnet called Disco Inferno, which is one of the stupidest things I've ever written. Perks, on the other hand, wrote a gorgeous poem for that challenge.

But I digress.

As usual.

What? I'm suppose to write a disco inferno poem? I have laryngitis and I can't write. Really. But I have started on the T.G. challenge.

No, no, no more disco poems! Ever! I hate disco! I'm sorry I brought it up, lol. (Although I never have been able to totally lose that image of shambling John Travolta zombies. It's too funny.)

Oh, I remember the zombies. Let's just not talk about it anymore. lol
