Thank you Andrea R. Huelsenbeck for creating a beautiful poem from my word list! This is the bestest thing about blogging! Creative exchanges and discovery and connecting with another poet.
What use has a mermaid for a surge protector?Will it help her clean the lint trap?
In a fit of indignation
She stamps her foot
And eyes the thing on the ceiling fan that turns around.
Impatiently, she makes a caviar sandwich,
Which immediately gets soaked because of all the water.
The dream catcher snatches all her aspirations.
She crawls out onto the bridge shrouded in fog,
Tying a cable-knit sweater round her neck like a cape,
While the clouds hide the planets.
