A blogger I follow, dare I say, a friend, and I have begun playing Words With Friends. We are pretty evenly matched. At the start of a recent game he suggested that we each create a found words poem from our efforts. What a great idea!
So here’s our completed game, and my poem follows. Please read my friend’s poem at https://aroilinpain.wordpress.com .
On the brink of goodbye
She tread cautiously Into his space
A cup of joe as a parting gift
But he was curled under quilts in the fetal position
Claiming a pang in his wide open heart.
“You shrew,” he screamed, “You have no idea
How wide was my love for you. Woe is me!”
“Go ahead, throw darts,”she countered, “I can no longer feed your need for fame.”
In a dress of flawless moire, she addressed her ex with a shrug.
“This will make for dishy gossip via the neighborhood pipeline.”
“Just let me see, one more time, a glimpse of your areolas,” he said, “and I promise I’ll dig no more.”
“Aw, Ed,” she grimaced, “This is why we cannot relate.”
“Sh,” he cautioned in douce tones. “You are the nexus of my very being.”
Still, she placed her hand on the doorknob, “Once you were the tye to my tackle, the quahog of my pond. Now, you are just like a zit on a cob.”
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Impressive!

I sent the link to my Shiny Rocks found poem to my poetry instructor in graduate school. She saw the comment about your upcoming poems and wanted an update. Do you mind if I send her the links so that she can see the outcome? Anne Laine 🙂
BTW: I really like the way this came out 🙂

Hers was awesome! Mine- not so much. What I did love was the similarity of subject matter and the very different perspectives! I guess it doesn’t take much to identify the romantic, huh?

I just read yours. It came out wonderful. Creative writing is an art. Here is the most common definition of art: the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Let the romance flow 🙂

I thought his was absolutely pure! Had I not already written mine I’d have been inclined to just bask in agarrabrant’s words.

Thanks. I really like them both! My self-critique still leaves me dissatisfied with the last few lines. That always seems to be where my dissatisfaction with my own work tends to lie.

That’s why writer’s say “Writing is rewriting.” 🙂

Same here. I always want to wrap them up in a bow, but truthfully, life isn’t like that.

True that! It’s wrapped in something, but it’s surely no bow!

I didn’t expect it would be that difficult, but I also didn’t know how much fun it would be. I loved the exercise!
