OULIPOST #30: PATCHWORK QUILT--The Grand Finale
The prompt:
Conclude the project by writing a poem that incorporates words and lines from all of your past 29 poems.
The process:
I pulled full lines, and then just some words from each poem and I worked backwards. The first word is from April 29th and last word is from April 1st. Sometimes, I pluralized a word..sometimes I didn't.
So long Oulipost, it's been real...
The result:
Quilt
Chief clumsily lingers
Vaporized by
Elements,
read like a mystery novel
Revenge
Another postcard
For friends
Don’t be afraid
Blessing has the burden
Until it’s all a happy memory
Lived it.
Around-the-clock
Capsules appear
We run
Pain
A lack of heart
We must be strong
Half fatal
Critics swiftly confirm
Chief,
Earns their praise
While urban disunion rises
There was a problem
Radicals faced with a particular group
May day
People are still angry
