Exquisite Corpse - 1 November 2009

Hi again! The day after Halloween, my friends Melanie and Sean helped me write some poems. We started with some Exquisite Corpse, an exercise I've found to be a good way to ease into collaborative poetry. Here they are:

EC1:

The ache of erythrocytes

three dead hookers in my trunk

the glowing light

freeze and burn

47 segway pile up

and in the shadow it casts

which I like

when time is short

I'm so slow

I had none

there goes the neighborhood.

EC2:

Once upon a time

fall down my skin

"Hark!" says I

without sight or sound

strings on your shoe

cranberries, strawberries, avocados

how did this happen

the free hookers

tomorrow comes today

asleep by now

nonsense.

EC3:

Gazing into some abyss

through the darkness

nothing is held by cups

cherry-flavored acid trip

time stood still

holes are evident

sometimes I'm right, but

I tried a few times

pillows on high

happiness through the eye of the beholder

put it to the side

it never was, but I remember.
