So, I've posted things written in
poetry magnets before. The game just got taken to a whole new level,
though. Introducing the mobile poetry magnet board, equipped with the
poetry magnet expansion pack (SO MANY WORDS!).
My schoolwork and social life may
suffer, granted. But it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, especially
when I've written several that I like already. ^_^
My favorite way to do it is MadLib
style. My mom made this one for me to fill in:
"The Tragic Rejoicing"
I (tried) to (understand) myself
in a (pretend) place
that I could scarcely (believe).
My (dreams) did not appear to be my
own.
It was as if I (stumbled) through a
(broken) (world)
while attempting to (discover home).
At least I was not (despairing).
My (wild) (friends),
(Peace) and (Vision),
were with me.
Together, we (freed) the (fire)
and (glowed) like (red) (suns).
Then I wrote this one for myself, but
it surprised the heck out of me:
"For all the (Drops) in the (Sea)"
We (throw) ourselves
(into) the (middle) of (the ocean)
without (fear) or (style),all of our
(bodies) (flying) (boldly)how (easy) we (fall),how (fast) and
(free)...but this (pleasure) cannot be (forever);it is a (love) for
the (hour).Somehow, we still (rejoice).We still (fly) through
(mystery),and this is how we (live) in (wonder).
Obviously, I'm already having too much
fun, but if you want to make me a poetry mad lib, I will use it to
write you a poem! Just format it like,
If I could (verb) with (noun)
the (adj) (noun) would be (adj)
(I usually just say an ordinary boring
sentence in my head, then take stuff out. Try it!)
Anyway, now that you know where I'll be
for the next (large unit of time), I've gotta get back to it. Peace!
