I’ve had these magnetic sets of words for probably over ten years now–only in the past year did I decide to finally break them out and use them on my refrigerator. I stuck some words together last year, thinking they sounded clever, and didn’t think much of them until last night, when a friend was reading over the “poems” and said, “Wow, how thought-provoking!”
The poem she was referring to:
Could Virtue Cry
Other Sublime Sight
Guarantee Moon Until Twilight
Whether Death Together
Another poem I read out loud and never realized it rhymed until last night:
Timbuktu Never Uptight
When Above Kalamazoo
Sing The Fight
And not to leave out anything from the picture above, the last poem featured in the bottom part of the picture:
Oh Bad Afternoon
Try By Desire
Art Kissed Time
Too Blue Smile
I’m sure there have been some pretty good poems constructed out of those magnetic sets; I just threw together some words that sounded okay together, not really thinking about any of it. Then again, I suppose that’s the best way to get inspired: just let the unconscious (subconscious?) open mind take over.
