Here are this semester’s Creative Writing classes’ poems written in the Exquisite Corpse method. What I love about these lines is how they were created almost randomly but have a kind of weird logic. I like how some of these seem almost brilliant, in an obtuse way. See here for previous semesters’ poems. Punctuation was added, but the words below appear in the order they were written in the Exquisite Corpse poems made in class recently.
I want to leave me alone now.
Today will not be fun times for all.
Motor in car is bad, rough, cruel, thunderous squirrels in the ocean.
I have to go shopping with a peach and an astronaut screaming help, help me, I am dying in the dark cave where the animal lives in the den.
Listen closely or else you’ll see the future.
The dinosaur trampled through the mouse.
Who doesn’t go to go to a game?
Now she yeets it over the river and through thick and thin Cheez-its.
Life can be annoying people.
Oops, I did it again. I ran a red by Taylor Swift.
The worst thing is, I don’t love Bad Bunny all day.
Kids over all just suck at being so cringe.
Quitting is so easy, but what about her, though?
Kim Kardashian – her name wasn’t Kim – will have another drink.
Life, it’s short, sad, to my heart’s content creators.
Work is like play except they run at wall.
Good night, my darling. Love cheese and ham donuts.
