You knew this was coming: a spin-off from the Exquisite Corpse thread.

The challenge is to take one or more of the random phrases that resulted from that experiment and build a poem around it (or them). There are no other requirements about form or length.
  • The indifferent essence tortuously reconciles with the admirable mnemonic.
  • Frustrating pipe-dreams normally rob wet cadres.
  • The stunning lawyer modestly caresses the flirtatious child.
  • Cloying purses excruciatingly feel as trendy carrots.
  • Supine Babylonians informally strangle pernicious mouths.
  • Princely chair massages pompous ass.
  • The tiny car will blatantly deify the judicious ass-hole.
  • Shiny headphones will lovely serve as smelling thumb
  • The meticulous tree brazenly massages ubiquitous chickens.
  • The hideous shamrock will comically murder the glossy figure.
  • Dishonest thunderstorms will smoothly wash the burning radio.
  • Hot perfection will tomorrow surrender to the chocolate bulldozer.
  • The mortal nipple lately believes the coquettish pebble.
  • Beautiful treasures languidly perch the informed soul.
  • The tall brain meekly eats the delinquent dream.
  • Pneumatic city has accidentally touched loud inexperience.
  • The sticky psalm abroad will conquer that silent steam.
  • The unholy bicycle knightly trots in peaceful discomfort.
  • The hairy burglar simply honours the reverse food.
  • Shimmering peanuts suddenly hesitate before the psychological village.
Submit your poems next Monday, 13 September, to be posted on Tuesday, 14.

Boy was this the wrong thread

to open right after I woke up, lol. It's making my head hurt. If I don't do it, am I a ubiquitous chicken? No, I know--if I don't do it, you'll just keep asking me until I do. I know all your tricks, Hyndeline. :D

:kiss:

I'll edit the first post.

A week!:eek:

It'll take me that long just to get through the list...:D

:rose:
 
he fucks like six feet under.

smiles as I wash his
dirty boxers.

"GET ME A BEER WOMAN"

cooking meals to please
insensitive sugar daddy
jeans.

he wears the pants,
nakedness kisses smelly feet
and belching bull shit lips.

pop open beer
fill it full of sleepers
smiling as I serve his
drink.

i slide into evening wear
painted lipstick, curled lashes,
as princely chair massages
pompous ass.



:D
 
Argggh!

I *knew* there had to be a catch!
Making a poem from such strangely provoking corpses...

<break>
<smile>

Alright, so I finished one yesterday afternoon. <g> Are we holding them until the 13th then? Did I understand that right? Or are we presenting them for presubmission going over and then sending them in?

Do I need to put Chicken Challenge in the Notes or keywords or anything?<g>
 
Hold it until the 13th.

f you want to add a little note in the body of the poem, it would be fine. Otherwise, you just need to come here and tell us the title of the poem, in case we miss it. :D

kk

<gasp>
A title!?!?!

Damn!
Always something....<sigh>
 
Oh shit. I just found this thread. And Ange has probably already written her Sestina....

(Not that I would ever write a Sestina, ever, again...)
 
I won't be submitting as it's not poetry. It's nothing more than a vein opened onto the keyboard, but seeing as how you prompted it, Lauren, I figure the least I can do is post it for ya. ;)

If you can make sense of it, run.




Malicious laughter echoes in the sweep of the second hand
counting my failings through the passage of time. Rage
burns bright in an anguished blend drowning the blues
and greens of life. Dishonest thunderstorms will smoothly
wash the burning radio that buzzes and hums in my mosquito
brain between ears of stone that hear no more of the
screams wrenched from my lover's lips. Cochineal hues
color my vision as ticking time bombs of the mind drop
in sequence severing the fragile threads of reason.
Honest rain will not venture this way again.

I submitted it. It's a Villanelle, not a Sestina big boy.

:p

I might do that for the full moon challenge...

<runs away fast>
 
Well, I found the thread at 8 am and I need to leave for work at 9 am so I am not promising quality...but I did just finish something and will post it under the name "Our Song"
 
I submitted two thingys for the Chicken Challenge. One is called Stormwash, and the other is called Honorable Doof.

See? You wrote two. I only wrote one, called Ovoid Corpse.

Where's fooly?
:D
 
I submitted Dérangé, which contains the corpse, "The tall brain meekly eats the delinquent dream."

I added a footnote. In the body of the text, I wrote in a superscript little "1" next to the corpse, sending to the note in italics at the end of the poem:

<sup>1</sup> <i>"The tall brain meekly eats the delinquent dream" was the random product of a collaborative Exquisite Corpse writing game conducted on the Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum.</i>
 
Well, it has absolutely nothing to do with the poem(?) yet I called mine 'Bloody Corpses,' and left out the mutter and grumble. :D

I just found this thread last night. I am totally clueless...as usual.
