I was feeling a bit frisky today, so I decided to go through with a bit of an idea that I've had for a poem for some time. I get so much spam in my comcast e-mail account that I thought i'd do something useful with it. So, I simply wrote down all of the subject lines to the spam e-mails and then combined them to form a poem.
The form of the poem is postcards, the idea of each being to create this individual image, all of them tied to a central theme or source of inspiration. Therefore, this piece is titled:
Postcards to the Spammers
I.
Hey! Disturb asterisk at!
Shawl with brady,
Coattail on ban uproot
With ghoul on oblige.
Tissue comb. Bisect.
Spool and itt
Beat horsedom on mien.
II.
Fusty boone on Rhodesia;
Many forest in gasify
Dock on quarrelsome.
Blanch for imprint dovetail
and controlling sumac,
emblem as well:
Loy.
III.
Beware for investor geoduck!
Did chuckle? Calm,
Albiet is eyeful not Anglicanism.
You’d not battleground
in jackpot, but billfold?
Note waive.
I hank on barnstorm.
IV.
Bruckner yip with tuberculosis—
Go advantage or unkempt
homeopath for fuchsia nihilist.
A gait some array
half dose in attrition
among quart the bandstop.
Whatley.
V.
Fogy. Intellectual.
Vesicular.
Darin is parish and flipflop:
Burlesque privacy
and morgen Etruscan.
Automate!
Can scene!
VI.
Float with duet examine
prosodic well as death.
The article moves on
To how the fatherless prudential,
bimetallic with fascist,
Not dig dutchess.
Backwood Conners at telegraphy.
VII.
Clinton cbs with harsh
Carbonic arctan to mudguard.
Adamson at siesta.
Feedback with longhorn pathogenic
Rattle towel with equipping.
New penny venture profile
With contraption on celerity.
VIII.
Some radiogram some attentive
Catherwood at kettering
Float with duet examine
bookend black person.
City hinge on affiance,
Or telling a Jew,
eerily in cytoplasm.
