Random Word Poetry
Anything Goes Verse
An Experiment
These poems resulted from an experiment to see if I could successfully combine random and seemingly unconnected topics into one poem. A couple of my friends provided the subjects:
- wildflowers, songbirds, camels
- worms, candles, acorns
The following poems are what I came up with.
Wildflowers, Songbirds and Camels
Wildflowers growing freely,
Fresh colours in the fields.
Even on the rocky earth
The cacti are in bloom.
Not confined by any garden,
No florist for to yield.
Songbirds in the treetops,
A chorus greets the sun.
Each species has its own sound,
Not mimicking anyone.
Following no words or tune
They just sing for the fun.
Big-humped camels cross the sand
In dromedary trains.
Called ‘ships of the desert’
Watch them sail across the dunes.
Days between both food and drink
But they do not complain.
So, wildflowers, birds, and camels
Have a common link you see.
They have the kind of freedom
That escapes both you and me.
We have too many stresses
That we need to brush aside,
Shed responsibilities,
Just be free — enjoy the ride.
Worms, Candles, Acorns, and Random Thoughts
Worms dig in the garden,
Candles burn the flame,
Acorns become oak trees.
My random thoughts again!
