You know, I used to write a lot of poetry. A LOT. And I was really into forms - I even had a whole blog devoted to them at one time. But the thing with me and poetry is, it's never consistent. It comes and goes. For the last year or so I've been in a dry spell and haven't been writing any poetry, so I'm having to dig deep into the archives to find something to share.
For this week's tribute to National Poetry Month, I chose a fun form. It's called the Flarf.
What makes a Flarf both fun and easy is the fact you take your raw material from the internet, specifically a Google search. Simply use two unrelated terms, like "anarchy + tuna melt" or "beautiful + corpse" and piece together your poem by cutting and pasting from the search results page.
You can also write a Flarf based on your Twitter or Facebook feeds, but I chose the more traditional Google search. The terms I used were "kitten + apocalypse".
Kitten Apocalypse
The world will end by kittens
and I want to explain how this will happen
in a lot of depth but
I have not made the video!
Mass resurrection
brings all dead party
and raid members back to life.
Beware.. The kittens have gone crazy!
To me, they are truly evil.
Do you see kittens staring at you?
Do they look sinister/evil!?
Avoid the radioactive zombie kittens
in a post apocalyptic nightmare!
Zombies, don't mess with angry kittens!
Kittens are the new ninjas.
Check out this vicious cat killing spree!
Meet Hiromi, the shy artist;
her cat Vince, who has a secret;
her best friend Kitty with all the visions
It's the kitten apocalypse! ...
Animated zombie kittens!
Zombie kittens are attacking!
Why the hell are you still reading?
Apocalypse warning,
kittens involved.
If you see these,
you're probably screwed.
No one suspected
the zombie apocalypse
would look so cute.
Would you survive the Kitten Apocalypse? Take the test and find out.
