Magnetic Poet IV: Lauren

"this poison flower"

by Lauren

Here's what Lauren really wrote in the comment thread:

kill eternity
kiss below
this poison flower
clean your face with my corduroy questions
you melt my concrete with that velvet touch

Magnetic Poet III: Jamwall

"Let Me Spank Your Tushie"

by Jamwall

Magnetic Poet II: Kat

"Kiss"

by Kat

Magnetic Poet I: Alex L

A while ago, I asked for your input in creating poetry out of the magnetic poetry wall that I painted onto my house. You delivered! Here at last are the creations, one at a time so that you can take them in, roll them around your mind, and bask in their meaning. Oh, I took some liberties with your words, because some of you had duplicate words with other people and I wanted to display them all together. There your creations dwell, on my wall. It's as if you were partying in my house, but minus the lame dip and the throwing up.

Here now:

"The Fate of the Hobo"

by Alex L.

(What Alex really said here was:

Hmmm a poem...

I call this piece the 'fate of the hobo'-
I am he,
The man with the plan,
the lonely passenger of life
with no choice but my fate,
why must do this...
I like squirrels,
I dont really want to kill them


I have no idea if you have those words on your wall but well... there it is enjoy.)

Magnetic Poetry Time

Long ago I told you about the wall I painted with metallic paint for the purpose of posting magnetic poetry. I even composed some soulful, emo pieces and asked you to compose works to post. Today I noticed that the same poems that some of you wrote back then are still hanging out on my board. It's time to update! Would you like to help me? Take a look at the image above, and compose a masterpiece that I can post. This way, it will be as if you live in my home! Without the added benefit of walking by and smacking my booty. Have fun. Expose your emotional innards for us all to rummage through and discover the gems of your soul. Or else, you know, just write something dirty.

The Power of Poetry Compels Me.

My poetry wall is in full swing;

at last, the muse has a playground

upon which to frolic and play.

Won't you come and play with me?

These folks did:

Monkey

Corley

Jiggs

Miss Kendra

Here we all are, hanging out together.

On my wall.

Paint it Black

Here's what I did.

You know I like me some mag-poems.

So I cordoned off an area of my wall and

painted it with magnetic base coat.

Rust-Oleum makes it.

They also make the chalkboard paint used later.

My lines were pretty straight.

I didn't really mix the base properly.

It weighs a ton.

A tonne!

Please admire my skillz.




Some of the finished product.



The complete wall.

Your assignment:

Take a closer look at my words (by clicking on them)

and suggest a poem/phrase that I may put up.

Or give me a topic and I will do my best with it.

I will show you when it's done.

It'll be as if you live in my house!
