Terrible Two's Challenge
Muse2u 6/9/2007 2:00 pm
Ok, just call this a bonus challenge
It follows the same rules as the 10 words challenge, the only difference is that I decided to use 5 word combinations that amused me.
You don't have to use those combinations.
(Not sure how easy those words will be to incorporate into a poem, hence the challenge name of Terrible Two's)

The Challenge - Just for Fun

Write a poem incorporating all of the 10 words from the list.
The words can be used in any order and may be changed to variations ie - Shop = Shops, Shopping, Shopper.

Title your piece as you like.

You can post your poem to your own blog, or post it here.
If posting to your blog, then please post a message/link here so we can all visit to read.

Please do not post the challenge anywhere else. Thanks.

Have fun

Muse

Dear Muse

Ahh loved this challenge too... you are so good with these, and theyre a great distraction....thank you for keeping my mind occupied and active.

As the tentacles of life
Touch you in a tickle like manner
Poking and proding
The ever seeing cauldron
Shows the spirit being eaten by carnivorous souls.
As if in a drunken state, unable to move
The denture like jaws bite down.
Like a pilgrim with pulsating thought
Bucking like a feisty filly yearning to be free
Freedom beckons you.

Thanks Muse.. I so love your challenges,,,

Good Morning Oz
I wasn't sure anyone would like this word list so I'm really pleased to see that there is a poem here
I like the piece too, it has sadness, but also the feel that strength will prevail
Great work Oz.
Thanks for taking part in the challenge

Hi Dear Muse,
As I see what I've written is a bit similar to OZ's poem in mood,
but when I saw the word list for the challenge, I had just been provoked to a gloomy mood.
So here it is and thank you for being a good-willed friend of mine !

Tentacles of spite,
reeling in this cauldron of life,
make a drunken fiesta
sinking their carnivorous poisonous dentures
into the pulsating hearts of fillies on their shy pilgrimage in search of love.


I couldn't find a proper place for the word "tickle", I hope I'll be forgiven

I tickled the pot.
A tentacle writhed
And something went ‘splot’.

Cooking for carnivorous crooks is no fun
When you’re chained to the cauldron
And they are all drunk.

I stirred hard again
And the broth made a ‘gloop’
Some dentures appeared
Then sank back in the soup.

My stomach lurched
My head started pulsating
That pilgrim who’d passed
Had the same dental plating.

And what of his daughter?
That fair feisty filly.
I thought for a moment
Then remembered the chilli.

Wasn't sure how to link this..but here it goes...

With each step a tentacle of fear
creeping and tickling up my spine...
Stirring at the Cauldron sat a Crone
Carnivorous donations in her brine.

Tail of a filly, a fat feisty frog....
Pulsing energy, sulfur scented air.
A bat wing, an ox tongue tossed in the fog.
Legs are weak, electricity charged hair.

For good measure, thrown in, wooden dentures
Hag crooking her finger, with toothless grin
Sipping the brew knowing for what I ventured
Drunk with desire, at last...to be young and thin.

OK this was hard...

Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.

I've heard that an octopus
Tickles it's prey.
It's tentacles wiggle
Out there in the bay
Where carnivourous beasties
All flock with delight
To the sound of the laughter
And a hapless meal's plight.

The cauldron of night
Is a permanent feature
Down here in the deep
Where this multi-armed creature
Is drunk with desire
To nibble and feast.
It devours without dentures
Once the struggling's ceased.

It's prey once swum gaily,
Now it's something to eat.
Another mad pilgrimage
Ends in defeat.
The fiesty wee octopus
Care's not for caerphilly.
It's meal is it's neighbours.
(Oh boy, that was silly!)

Edward Lear, eat your heart out!
