Remember Bart Simpson’s famous words from the 90s? Of course you do. Here’s an irreverent exercise
for poet bloggers. Check out the surrealist machine called The Eater of Meaning. Type in the URL of your blog and start the engine. The results are a cut-up version of your blog. For example, the heading of my Ashbery story below turned into: I Wandering my Housewife Daydreams. Add your favorite distorted headline as a comment. Or write a new poem using that phrase as the title or first line.

Frightening. I was worried my blog was permanently, incoherently scrambled. Whew!

Hey, Robin. Would you mind if I used this prompt for a new poerty collaborative that’s starting? It’s called readwrite poem.org. I’m supposed to help out with prompts. If you agree, I’d link to your site. You have really great prompts here. I also would like to submit the one you wrote about dividing the photo into 16 squares. Let me know what you think!
