5 word poem 2

Well, I finally came up with something. This one was tough!! words: (cleric, respectably, magnifying glass, expeditionary force, swine)


A cleric, once, I knew him well
respectably at Kent did dwell
and once with magnifying glass
did stumble on a bonnie lass.
No expeditionary force
nor swine, nor bull, nor palace horse
no rushing wind or fire's ray
could make him turn his eyes away.

I know. Not much. But, they're all in there. Words for the next one are taken out of James Patterson's "Lifeguard": beating, investment,including, jumped and muttered.
If you would like to write a poem with these words feel free or find your own words randomly from any book (dictionaries work well. For other books take the nearest "not normal" word to the one your finger points to, otherwise you end up with "and, for, then, with, the etc etc") Happy hunting!

I'm charging each of you a penny for these thoughts

Well, my room is FINALLY clean! I know! Crazy! I ended up throwing out 5 bags of trash, somewhere around 7 empty boxes, a bag of clothes and a ton of other stuff. I combined all of my small boxes into two tubs that now sit waterproofly in my closet. I shredded like 5 gallons of papers. Hopefully I can keep it this way. It's weird walking into my room.... no like literally being able to walk into my room.
Other news, I got new glasses on Saturday (thanks Jess). They should be here this week I hope. I got contacts too, and they called and told me the contacts are in already. I'm also trying to update my look, not necessarily for every day, but just some dressier clothes. Also, I finally got my ingrown toenail sorta cut out. He numbed it (most of the way the first time, and eventually all the way after I screamed) and cut out the part that was causing the problem. It feels much much better. I go back in on Friday to see how it's doing and to schedule a time to get the root cut out so it won't keep coming back. It's nice to be able to put on shoes though.
I wonder how I should go about telling a girl that I know that I can't imagine her ending up with any type of guy. I've pondered it a lot, and she finally asked about it on her blog and facebook so I feel like this is my chance.... but I don't know how to tell her. Trust me, I've thought about it. As she is... I don't think such a man exists.... if she were to change some key things then it's possible. She's the same girl that I blogged about before that had a list of like 100+ things she was looking for in a guy. I'm sorry, but if you've dated 80+ guys.... it's not them.... it's you.
Well, I think that's it. Still haven't written my second 5 random word poem. It's giving me grief. Till next time.

5 Random Word Poetry

Well, spring cleaning is well under way. I've thrown out 4 garbage bags full of stuff, I've sorted through every box and shredded everything that needed to be shredded. My room is still a mess, but I think one more day will do it. Ps. I love heated mattress pads, especially on a cold night like tonight. MMmmm warm!
If you recall one of my goals this year is to blog more, but only slightly less known is this: to write more poetry. So I've come up with a creative way to get the juices flowing. :O Happy Groundhog day!!!! Just had to say that! =) Best Holiday EVER!! Ok, where was I? Oh, right, creativity. So I've started writing poems starting with 5 random words from a book. My first poem comes from 5 words from the first Harry Potter book. The words were speech, behind, don't, my and over. The goal isn't to create a masterpiece, it's just to tie the words together in some sort of rhyming...thing. So here is my first attempt

(I think I'll call it..) Jessica Potter

I gave a speech without my mouth
But only with my actions
Behind the words my body spoke
Were all of my reactions
Don't listen to the words I say
For when my words are over
The things I've done or tried to do
Will show how much I love her

Tadaa! This one was considerably easier than the next one I get to write. For that one I picked 5 random words from my spanish dictionary (from the english-spanish half of the book) The words are cleric, respectably, magnifying glass, expeditionary force and swine.
:-/ I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with those yet (not even exactly sure what all of them mean) but it should be fun to try. Stay tuned for that post. Peace.
