Week of First Drafts - Thursday - Word cloud

[bodkin]

Here is a word cloud, use some of the juxtaposed words to inspire a poem.

If you don't like those words you can create you own, click the create link and then paste in one of your existing poems or some other text you think might work. If you do create a cloud you can "save to public gallery" and then paste the link here if you like...

Nice one, Raine! It's fun, isn't it? Of course, now you have to write the poem...

[Raine]

I'm working on it

Salmon sandwiches;
red edibles and brick.
Screams of Elvis
grating on 33
And me getting old, apparently.

A blue-rinsed, sag-cropped
liberty gilded
bird.

This is the poem that I put in to make the word cloud in the first place :

Clever Boy!

Within the confines
of a red brick box
a sag-cropped; blue-rinsed;
Roman beaked old bird
pokes digits and edibles
through a gilded perimeter;
regurgitating greetings
in grating high pitch.

Elvis tolls the bell: And screams: “Liberty!”
But apparently, his language,
is beyond her understanding.

OK, using the words from my stream of consciousness poem:

Which seems to be suggesting a more beat-poem non-grammatical tack:

Indicate

near along clear, and strong besides
trouble although handbrake, left-much drive
car-shaped spade need three-point hard
time traffic ignition, the door ramparts

want another get, space maybe gear
car main space, nopetry cleared
snowplough, vandals, spring-tea light
much now maybe, prefer good -- right

Nice one Raine!

I think I like the pictures better than the poems! I'm going to have to print some clouds for my wall.

Brain, that first line is quite inspirational.
