Poetry is magnetic

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!
