get your poem on #48
We put our words in, strung them together and now we get to see where it all ended up.
I can’t wait to read your poems. I’m also curious about your thoughts on the process. Was it fun? Difficult? Do you do this sort of thing all the time?
If you feel up to it, let us know how it went with a few (or more) words in the comments along with the link to your work. And, if you responded to Read Write Word #1, feel free to leave a link here for that response as well.

A note from your “administration” team: We here at Read Write Poem try to have as few rules as possible. Having said this, we do want to stress how important it is that you link back here in your posts, either with a hyperlink to Read Write Poem or by using the (pretty cool, if we say so ourselves) new badge in your post. Putting a link in your sidebar is great — and we encourage that, love it we do — but it’s important for the group’s “internet health” that you link to us with each and every post you contribute to the project.
And please also add “Read Write Poem” in your tags, if you don’t mind. Search engines come up with weird stuff when they look for “RWP,” such as “Radiation Work Permit.” We’d much rather link them up with our poetry than with something from a bad sci-fi movie, or “event.”
As for the rest? Check our About page.
Now, do go read some poetry.

I must say, I enjoyed doing it. Althouh I am sure, where it took me!

Yeah, a lot of words to shuffle, I found the process a bit like Suduko, but enjoyed fitting it all together, thanks for the prompt Nathan.

The great thing about the word-by-word is that it never fails to surprise. This gave me a lot of opportunities to try out new sound combinations and images. http://disorder1313.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/tatterdemalion

Nathan please forgive me and delete the previous post.
Resurfaces
(is in the form of a “parenthetical” poem, which is explained in a note below it)
Obituary for the City on the Hill
1.
Tatterdemalion memories host obscenities. Lost I , forgettable words.
2.
Slink across sacred courtyards, nobody untouched. Scream meditation. Scavenge. Jettison.
3.
Chrome artifacts remain brilliant though forgettable.
4.
Alleys of tablature. Antiquated guards scream tenuously.
5.
Villas host nobody civil. I slink.
Here is my version: (Collaborative) Read Write Poem #48
the phrase ‘lost meditations resurface’ captured me, and would not let go…
lost meditations
This is a letter poem I wrote in response to Jo Hemmant’s poem ‘close’ on her blog, http://florescence.wordpress.com/
So it’s a collaborative piece. Dave and Dana have been writing letter poems back and forth, and it’s starting to spread.
letter poem
Crazy fun! Even though I don’t think I did it right.
Here it is anyway.
unfortunately,
this appears
to be neither/nor
but it is a poem
for poetry thursday…
does that count?

I don´t have much time available for writing poetry at the moment (or reading it… sorry, will be back soon and look forward to finding out what you´ve been writing!) but seeing these mouth-watering words I couldn´t resist writing http://wordsthatsing.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/antiques/“>this poem
I wrote a letter poem in response to Christine’s letter poem. I’m working with the line-by-line. Tatterdemalion is my new favorite word, but it sounds so clunky.

Sorry folks, I left the wrong permalink earlier.
Tenously Forgettable Memories

It took a few days of processing, but I finally wrote a poem based on the Read Write Word prompt:
