I decided to take Brian’s challenge in dVerse, finding words and combine. Great idea, so asking your tweeps and on dVerse page I got slightly too many. But great words great words.
Brian gave me these words
cheeseburger, crow, gasps, slides, tenderizes, slick, opaque, smelly (from my son),knee, power
And I got these from @Firebird734
elephant, condominium, kick, dine, reap, old, purple, huge, prioritise, umiaq
and these from @elettracrack
Seductress – to Sublimate – to Transcend – to Excel – Subversive – Damaged – Aware – Boondoggle – Proustian.
and from @ylvaknutsson
custom
Turning into something quite strange.
I have a dream
could start in umiaq
or in expensive
condominium
but always, always
through opaque haze
transcending into food
in slaughterhouse
we tenderize the
purple meat
like huge elephants
stomping
with powerful kicks
subversive and slick
we slide and
mash the meat
then flipping
cheeseburgers
smelly seductresses
sublimate our souls
aware of need
for subversive
damaged
nutrition
I dine
~~
but suddenly I gasp
an old crow reaps my food
excel his skills
prioritize his need
I grasp for him
but food is gone
I’m on my knees
~~
Is this a proustian custom
or just boondoggle?

haha…oh i see you had fun with this one…awesome how you worked the words in…and quite some challenging words as well…really cool
Thanks. playing word games on twitter every day helps..
That’s just brilliant..x
Thank you 🙂
hahahaha…you are brilliant…
tenderizing meat with elephant stomps…i have to image it to be very tender at that point…lol…my goodness..and you still ate it…darn crow stole it as well….dang him….ha….this was a very fun read man…
Well with words like that it’s like laying puzzle, reminds me of those poetry magnets that were populare some years ago.
I cannot believe you used ALL the words! Amazing.
Well once I made the call it was unstoppable… 🙂 twitter is amazing sometimes.
This one made me smile. You had quite an odd combination of words to use but the good news is – you used them well. Not sure what boondoggle is but I am about to google it. 🙂
Thank you 🙂
…aww…what fun to just simply think how everything here goes & becomes… ha… i wouldn’t dare write a piece that quick… and you did so kudos… enjoyed the read… smiles…
Sometimes it has to be quick, otherwise my internal judge would say NO NO… 🙂
Goodness, this was challenge in weaving words, well done ~
I specially like the kicking and tenderizing of meat ~ Subversive food, but we dine, junk and all ~
🙂 maybe it was horse meat
Yay! New word for me today: boondoggle!
Cool poem. I love alliteration, and it made this poem exciting to read aloud. Excellent job using the words (Proustian? Umiaq?)
Wow … loved your play here !!!
I liked your use of a challenging group of words. The elephant legs was very powerful, your voice matched. great word play and creative line work. I’d like to play off that elephant photo someday. Very kool eye.
I like “subversive damaged nutrition.” Every chance I get, I’m looking for it on the menu. Sometimes I get it ‘to go.’ Surreal dining. *grin* Working all those words in had to be fun. Let it go.
Brilliant Bjorn; I didn’t know all those words, and you managed to use them all so creatively.
You really have a vivid imagination. 🙂 I like your style. 🙂
Now I like my own too …
Well. I did. I changed my profile photo. But it will not show!
Now it shows! 🙂
Björn,
Very very difficult but the elephants really pulled it together. I can understand the need to just make it work while inspiration is hot!
Great abstract imagination. Purple meat… well, you never really know what they put in ground meat, do you?
Horses 😉
