Poetry Meme

[lost_spook]

I decided my writing gears needed a bit of a kick start and hunted out the tried and tested poetry meme. The quotes were especially random this time, but it still worked:

1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.

2: Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings

Very good.

I've a feeling I'd fail miserably at the 50 word limit imposed in this.

No, wait, I KNOW I'd fail!

Thank you!

And, heh, well, all memes are not for all people! I can do demi-drabbles and drabbles, but I have learned that I fall over hard if people expect me to count sentences instead of words. :-)

[persiflage_1]

Yes true. I am very bad at writing drabbles, my ideas run away with me.

ETA: What are you supposed to do, though, if the poem's only 4 lines long? (Hello, Phillip Larkin, you scoundrel, you!)

[lost_spook]

Well, if a poem's only 4 words long, I get a different one! I don't think you can count non-existent lines. :-)

LOL I like the poem as a prompt, though, so I might go with it anyway, esp as I'm already trashing the meme by ignoring the word limit AND only using one fandom!

[lost_spook]

I am always in favour of adapting memes and cheating in them. As I've mentioned before, there are no meme police out there! Whatever works for you. :-)

(I cheat if the generator throws up poems with no fifth lines, fifth lines that are completely incomprehensible, or fifth lines about fish and I refuse to feel sorry for it!)

*giggles* Can you just imagine how busy the meme police would be if they did exist?!

[lost_spook]

Very! :-D
