The prompt:
Select a newspaper article or passage from a newspaper article as your source text. Switch the first noun with the second noun, the third noun with the fourth noun, and so on until you’ve reached the end of your text.
The process:
I love Sunday's because there is an ever present and somewhat large Arts section. The article I chose details an "up-and-coming" female rap star. I've been reading and seeing her videos about her for over a year so I am not sure how ground breaking and on the edge this article really is. Anyway, I couldn't resist another poem that did not contain sophisticated subject matter. I just had to use it.
Also, her video mimics the movie "Clueless". That's way harsh.
The poem isn't great. I am not sure it makes sense but I did take some poetic license at the end and with some tenses.
The result:
Iggy Rap
Blessing has the burden
And the rapper
Of being a rising profile
With an odd
At way
With the artists
Most genres
Come up in the caricature
If you wanted a rap star
Of the least likely, azaleas
Blueprint could be your female
Blond
Australian.
Model
Looks like one (and is Southern).
Raps with a murder.
Rendering bizness…biznassss....
