POETRY SPILL

O Waiting Throngs of Blog Readers, I bring to thee a poetry game. Take a dictionary, close your eyes, flip through the dictionary and, without opening your eyes, pick a word. Write it down. Do this seven times. Then write a poem using at least five of the words you randomly picked. Here are the words I picked:

eventful
record
unheard
man
unravel
centurion
schismatic

Here is the poem:

Eventful lentil
sacramental,
you record,
so small,
unheard,
rain scribing on a leaf
so small,
this day I see
your leaf
you say
unravel man,
schismatic fragment,
mad centurion,
walking free
you'll see
there's nothing here
but air of
lilac days,
biscuit nights
of stars and ocean foam
rock home....
