poetry that sticks with you...

i got this assignment from another blog called The Poetry Dance Hall, where various poetry assignments and contests are held. I love my magnetic poetry kits that i have at home and at work. here's what i came up with last night from the Magnetic Poetry site:

so? do you like it? i recommend that you try it out. it was fun, and it forces you to be a little more creative because you might think of a word that would be perfect, like i wanted "taste" instead of "sound" for mine, but that word wasn't an option, so i had to twist things a little, and i think it makes for a more interesting poem...but that's me.

5 pearls thrown:

I like it. I especially like how you manipulated the letters and words to create something more than was given.

Regarding mine, I began with a theme, and started dragging related words over and dropping them randomly. Some of the apparent associations and word plays came about (lessee if I can pull this one off) serendipitiously, and others I placed deliberately.
