Magnetic Poetry Madness, or MPM for short.

To be honest, I never thought that I'd ever use the magnetic poetry bottle again.  I went through a phase in middle school where I bought every single one of the sets.  I had the Shakespeare set with the Olde English words and the semi-lewd word set (mostly containing words like hot, sweaty, juicy, moist, hard, etc.), I had all of them.  Of course, it's not like a had a refrigerator to put 10,000 tiny magnets on (definitely a no-no in the house of Blinder) so I went and purchased a big ass sheet of metal from the hardware store.  Other than the razor-sharp edges that left gashes in whatever they touched, it worked like a charm.  Naturally, I used the damned thing for a total of MAYBE two hours before I grew disinterested.  God knows what happened to all of those.  

Randomly I found an unopened bottle of magnetic poetry before I moved to Atlanta and now that I have my very own refrigerator, I can use the magnets as they were designed to be used.  And I did.  And here's some of the stuff I came up with on the very first installment of MAGNETIC POETRY MADNESS, or MPM #1.   It's important to note that I TRY to come up with something that 1) makes sense 2) is meaningful and 3) actually good. It doesn't always work out that way.  Also, I am adding punctuation in (there's no magnetic punctuation).  Some are titled, others are not.  I give myself a solid 4.5 out of 10 for my first attempt.  

OBSESSIONS

I am compelled to confess

my work is infinitely wrong

and better for it.

Sleep boy, she said,

I will love you always.

It is cold, and she is strange.

I understand her.

Soon, I am dreaming

of noise.

The night is cold and silent.

People don't  think I am funny.

It is strange.

My genius is known only

There were

Using a new soul

                                I created life 

from a dead body.
