Madness
All it took was
a huge blunder
at the air-port
for devices to
finally explode
just one bleep
beam of light
all was gone
& those at the
place too the
fake agitator
plastic parrot
the hothead
with the frost
and fast teeth
and its blemish
oh the baloney
of the paradox
crack ballerina
earthborn entity
a servant to this
endless conflict
ballistic addict
passing in the
murky thick of
ammunition &
its pistol smoke
it ended then the
crazy madness at
the baseline of fate
a huge blunder
at the air-port
for devices to
finally explode
just one bleep
beam of light
all was gone
& those at the
place too the
fake agitator
plastic parrot
the hothead
with the frost
and fast teeth
and its blemish
oh the baloney
of the paradox
crack ballerina
earthborn entity
a servant to this
endless conflict
ballistic addict
passing in the
murky thick of
ammunition &
its pistol smoke
it ended then the
crazy madness at
the baseline of fate

What a fun challenge! Gonna have to give it a go at some point. But this...your ability to use a minimum of words blows my mind. I take my hat off to you, sis 💖

I like the idea of the fake agitator, lol. It reminds me of someone who might distract you whilst the other one steals the contents on your person. At least it got rid of the frost, right? 😉

Dear D,
Well done! I wouldn’t remember to try something seven minutes ago let alone seven years! I thought this very clever and completely engaging. Especially with such a random collection of words to build. Terrific writing! H🌷

Dear H,
Those random words were almost impossible to use in a poem, still can't believe I did it twice, but I like a good challenge :-) Thanks heaps for your visit and the smiles you gave me 💕
