This is kind of fun ...
I stole this idea from Adjunct Kait, so blame her. The idea is to put together a ten-line poem (that makes sense) using lines of text from other web sites (I used all blogs, but I suppose from anywhere is fine). It has taken me a long time, but I think I have one:
She wakes up in one of those moods every morning
Making believe the sparkler was Tinkerbell burning up upon reentry
I don't understand the nature of cruelty
This goes against everything I have always believed in
You have outdone yourself with this one
What scares you the most?
Save the righteous indignation for someone who cares
We are one large dresser away from domestic tranquility at this point
Finally, maybe people are starting to wake up a little bit
Why can't they have a bagel place here?
Okay, it's not great, but give me a break! The two Kait did are far superior. Give it a try - it's harder than it looks!

I tried it using the comic blogs on my sidebar. It's pretty fun, but mine turned out to be crap. :)
Mine's at my blog.
It started out well, and then just kind of fizzled at the end. Maybe I'll edit it later when I have more time.
Yaaaaay Greg! Awesome! =)
A.K.

There's a poem by a poet named Richard Shelton where he did something like this -- David Lee called it a surreal poem. I can't remember the name, but I'll find it. I read it when I was 16 and enjoyed it, and if you enjoy this stuff, you'll get a kick out of the poem.
So whatcha think of MY poem, huh, huh?
