A few more experiments (because I'm avoiding my biology homework)

So, I decided to try out a few exercises at the end of the book.

First, i tried writing a poem based entirely on lines randomly selected from some of my favorite books:

Yes, your tiki god

and who talks of error now?
there is no right frame of mind
it was an awkward business, my dear
i just don’t want you
to be ashamed

let your foot quell
the harsh sun
you’re jumping at
shadows

this pumpkin girl
is very handsome
she puts away her dolls
she dresses like a streetwalker
she sings different
every year

j'ai bien frotté mes yeux
remind me to punch myself
in the mouth

Next, i decided to make a list poem that chronicled an entire lifespan using only brand names:
