Freudian Slip
Anonymous
Poetry Contest Description
Write a poem based on the concept of the Freudian Slip
A Freudian slip is a slip of the tongue in which a word that the speaker was subconsciously thinking about is substituted for the one that he or she meant to say. In psychoanalysis, this is said to reveal the true subconscious of a persons thoughts and emotions.
Write a poem based on the concept of the Freudian Slip. Approach this any way you like, be it seriously or tongue in cheek.
Here are some Freud quotes for inspiration. A few extra bonus points if you manage to refer to one in your poem:
- Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
- One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
- The ego is not master in its own house.
- If youth knew; if age could.
- Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.
- The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.

Something if not predictable
Roundhouse idea on a plateau without doors
Rainfall dragging their dryness underground
Arthouse gingerbread soul cookie discounts
Shortwave track made in a tall booth sound,
As weather watching waits for bottom drops
Wedding crashers drive their cart into a cake
Making nothing from casts of broken dreams
Mockingbirds scoring the bad scenes you take,

Slip of the Tongue
"Nice to eat you", he told her when he met her,
Pausing for a second as he shook her hand,
She was stunning and impeccably dressed,
The interview might not go according to plan.
"Nice to meat you", she responded with a smile,
(She knew her inflexion and what she meant)
Feeling a warmth trickling all over her body,
But now their subconscious began to vent.
"So tell me a little bit a butt yourself?" she asked,
Interested in him but not trying to make a pass,
"Ass you can see in my resume I studied economics,
I’m proud I graduated at the top of my class."
"Impressive, I’m a cum loud myself", she added,
Her body beginning to lean forward just a bit,
A tickling sensation now rushed through her,
With an electricity their bodies began to emit.
"This position will be right under me", she said,
"I think you’d be perfect in this kind of role",
Inching closer she asked, "when can you start?"
With his heart racing he said: "As soon ass pussible."
