Three Freestyle Poems With Absurd Parameters

Here are the rules: Free verse, as fast as possible, with minimal pressing of the back space button, and no edits after the poem is finished
Time starts now
POEM ONE
Oceanic endeavors fail to prolong
Oblong
Sing-song
Whatever else your mind can provide
Spurred by power
Into a new realm
Of refreshing curiosity
Very citrus like
Large lemon blimps floating by
I would not mind peering into one
For an hour or so

I'm going to make this one rhyme:

Redundant
Pendant
When will we send it
Back to whence it originated
Assimilated
Shrouded by crowded marketplaces
Passing faces
Time shows no mercy
Dogs busy herding
Birds chirping
Generic imagery
Just more poetry
But never hyperbole
Never
Melancholy
Scarcely jolly
That is a lie as well
We know that lies lead to demise
Unless there's a lie you can tell



And, for our final poem:

Ahem
Good evening
Ladies and gentlemen
I aim to share with you a few of my talents
I can balance on one leg for a period of eight seconds
I can walk into an elevator with relatively little fear of getting stuck
I can live my entire life without asking a question
And I believe in Lady Luck

Unconventional Ways To Market Your Book (Satire)

In this day and age, it takes something extra to promote your writing. For many people, this includes making a blog (such as myself). However, there are some novel ways to market your novel, if you are willing to put in the work.  1. Carrier Pigeon  Carrier Pigeons are extremely underrated, especially when it comes to promoting a book. Simply attach your novel to a flock of birds, page by page. Ensure that this is done in a professional manner with trained pigeons, which are treated humanely. It pays to have the birds disperse your novel over open water, so the (laminated) pages can drift ashore. The exposure gained from such a stunt is priceless. Note: Make sure that the pages are printed on and laminated with a biodegradeable material made exclusively from kelp. Additional Note: It is not adviseable to do this.  2. Messages In a Bottle We are all familiar with the fabled "message in a bottle". Unfortunately, this art is considered archaic. However, most e...

How To Write A Poem: A Comprehensive Guide

How To Write A Poem Don't. A poem should not have to be written. Instead, it should be improvised. Simply start writing words that go together. Forget implementing a generic rhyme scheme. Just take it line by line. Either write when you are full of emotion, or completely devoid of it. Ambivalent, apithetic writing can be ruggedly beautiful. The way a cigarette in a gutter can be beautiful. Keep your writing crude and visceral. Ignore convention. Make yourself mad at something trivial. Write about how much you hate getting grass stains on the ceiling. Write about hoow you hate getting ceilings on the grass stains. And for the sake of poetry itself... WRITE. If you want to read some truly absurd poems, I suggest that you read a free sample from my eBook (titled Farm Ramblings ) for sale on Amazon.
