Hey everyone, this is Andy. Even though I am not exactly a card-carrying Wordsmith's member, I like the looks of this blog so far. Anyway, I assume that if I got the email about this, I am qualified to post so here's a poem. I wrote it using a series of Google searches with an ear for sound.
Attention to All of You in Adulterous Affairs!
I have noticed your pretty pink alcoves,
your flexible travel fantasies,
the seemingly exhaustive lists
of shiny new allures
on the backs of your scapulars.
Properly-trained ministers never fail to identify
these blunderous middle class ventures.
Let me welcome you to my homepage.
Let me drop on you my bag of Salvation.
Let me gently point out that we do not
regularly expose ourselves to inquisition:
What are your guidelines for electronic communication?
What do you do when you are alone in a parking lot,
eaten alive by your rat-like sense of self preservation?
Would you recognize a legitimate divinity if you saw one?
Has your address changed in the past 12 months?
Picture an awful lot of very cold homes.
Visualize everything you would normally do
when confronted with overwhelming confessions.
Believe me when I tell you what Americans believe.
Your misery extends beyond your inbox.
Your mighty conquests end in the kingdom of error.
At least you’ll admit it to your friends.
Now admit that planetary bodies are regulated
by divine immutable laws,
that troubled men cohabitate with true red-bellied vipers.
Renounce the inward spiritual infidelity in your academic work!
Embrace this jealous intervention of my thunderous impulses!
Jesus is a passionate lover pursuing his Match dot com bride!

This is a great start I think for an awesome poem. It needs a bit of editing I think, but there really are some fantastic lines in here that I am jealous of. For instance:
ReplyDelete"What do you do when you are alone in a parking lot,
eaten alive by your rat-like sense of self preservation?
Would you recognize a legitimate divinity if you saw one?"
and
"Now admit that planetary bodies are regulated
by divine immutable laws,
that troubled men cohabitate with true red-bellied vipers."
and
"Jesus is a passionate lover pursuing his Match dot com bride!"
I like it. I am curious as to an overarching idea here, but I am sure there is one. Again, I like it a lot. It reads like it could be spoken out loud and sound really good.
