The NEW 6 word poetry game thread.
I attempted this in the past and I still actually quite enjoy the task. The rules are simple. You get given a set of 6 words, by myself, and you must use those words in a 6 line poem, one word per each line. The effect of this is to see how people use those words to portray various different themes, because more often than not, each poem turns out completely different. It also forces you to write, moulding your mind into a set which makes it easier to use random words as basis for writing.
So, without further ado, your current set of 6 words are as follows: Jacket, People, Body, Lamp, Record, United. Have at it!

Ode to Porno
He lead her in and took off his Jacket,
Hoping the people below would not hear the racket. He stroked the warm body of the young tramp, As he set down the camcorder by the old lamp. Before he went to her, he pressed the button "Record." And prepared to be united with this lovely whore.

Nice one SAAM...
I'l try it too...Do the words need to appear in the given order? Well here it goes: He took his jacket and walked The people looked at him, like he was no one His body shook, he knew he was marked He looked at the lamp, the light was gone He could see it in their eyes, they had that same record playing in their minds These people where all united, united against him for no reason, they were evil, not kind Err...I don't think it's so good...

SAAM, I have to say bravo for that one. Very good. I'm trying to attempt this set myself, but I'm at a loss for creative talent at this very moment, so I'll see what I can come up with later.

Jacket strewn on the floor, his thoughts as clutter
People he left behind long ago, ghosts they mutter Body ravaged with the daily stresses, wieght on his shoulders Lamp glowing on his desk, shadowing memories in their holders Record his soul, biased in his pensive United his thoughts, always on the defensive. Hmmmm ... moody. Juvenile. ... definitely angsty. You're right. The hell am I doing weriting garbage like this?

Lets see.....
He sighed as he tossed his jacket to the floor People he decided were not worth his time His body was tense his head to the door He switched off his lamp they would discover his crime His record had been hurt before this had become his blight He wished he had an ally, united to his plight. Hey I wrote a poem!

The jacket was binding, white and firm
the people watched him wriggle and squirm As his body refused to go with his head Under the lamp, he was examined instead Just for the record, he wasn't insane, just a few steps away from being united again.

Very good, everyone. Well, here is my attempt:
Fated Hero In a jacket of ice, the cold form waits, Unknown to the people above. His body unchanging lies, A lamp that will never go out. Of his past we have no record, But his future is a nation united.

United in Death
I take this full metal jacket and breach load Twenty-guage slug fit for splitting people in rows Body de los hombres, standing ever damp Drenched in blood and lit afire, resembling lamps Record this day, where I did say in tired breath Divided we stand, yet united in death |
