Magnetic Poetry

I’ve always loved to play with words, and magnetic poetry was so much fun. I never really had a set, but there are various sites online where you can mess around with the words and have fun. One time I found a site that sold magnetic poetry kits in various genres. There was a list of words for each kit and I wrote several poems from each version. I had the idea of printing them up and cutting out the words separately and gluing them in an altered book. I may still do that. But for now I will share some of these poems. I didn’t mark them as to which version I used. There was original, Shakespeare, zen and some others. You might be able to guess which ones they are. There were no hyphens in the kits, so where I’ve put two words together, I’ve used the slant mark.

#1

bold little feline

always full of cunning grace

drink sweet milk from

                  special bowl

looks at me &

I can almost hear her talk

#2

I fly to dream/like

diamond paradise

bathe in dark red blood

drunk with moon/music

   goddess angel gaze down

she smile and whisper

   dance near evening flame

                    and burn

#3

imagine surreal harmony

through blue aesthetic smoke

            which feels empty

wild canvas creates

     an electric angel silhouette

           from angry paint

#4

I dream of Manhattan

& hurry downtown

   in cold glass taxi

the stars overwhelmed

   by neon sky of expensive smoke

my ugly garment

   a token of modern style

Depending on what (if any) kind of reaction this gets, I might share some more of these next week. Toodles!
