Napowrimo poem Day 9
Prompt:
Words: pumice massage campfire walker wattle slow jug talon octopus limp marionette bruise
Sound: whistle
Taste: durian
Poem:' Go Forth and Conjugate'
'Aunty did it and remained verbless'...line used
A slow pumice massage
near a campfire by
Red Talons the street walker
built like a limp marionette
whistling softly through her teeth
was the final flourish to a great camping trip
topped off with good food
barbecued octopus
interspersed with over ripe bruised durian
sprigs of wattle and a jug of wine
Boys Night Out
What they overlooked was Aunty
secreted in the shadows
'Aunty did it but remained verbless'
You stitched those words in brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post!
Don't know how you did that so seemlessly (did I spell that right?). This little poem is funny as hell and totally met the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Stan and Robin. Wordles (random words) are my favourite challenge. I had a wordle competition on my blog just recently .It was a lot of fun.Hope you are both going to join in the next one.

ReplyDeleteAwesome!
Hi Rall,
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Red Talons had the strength to massage if she's "built like a limp marionette" but may be the whistling helps! No wonder your uncle and his mates get themselves into such pickles.
Rall,
ReplyDeleteAs always excellent work. This made me laugh!Thanks for that.

Loved your poem "Uncle And His Mates Go Camping." (BTW, I've sent that greeting card!). I had to google durian: Durian Fruit can best be described as having a succulent, creamy filling but smelling like stinky socks. That's a wonderful choice and I love learning new words!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou know how to whistle Derrick
ReplyDeleteYou just put your lips together and blow
I think these lines come from an old movie
We received that card today so I built the poem around it! Glad you enjoyed it Marianne.
ReplyDeleteTo Have And Have Not. Rather like having your cake and eating it! And that beer rub's good stuff. You should try it.
ReplyDeleteHA! We must share uncles. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteNicely put together - very clever indeed. I knew what durian is - read that somewhere it is forbidden for patrons to eat it inside the establishment. I envy how well you wove this together with such brevity and sharpness.
ReplyDeleteGood choice on the durian. I enjoyed this!
ReplyDeleteSo succinctly funny.
ReplyDeleteThat was quite an oversight by the boys. This is great fun. I'm fondest of the word prompts too. The unusual combos generate some ripping tales.
ReplyDeleteyum for bbq octopus =)
