Boundless

For the Creative Bad Poetry Contest

She was a student of physics

hung up on holographic theories

held down by quantum gravity-

totally tied up with string theory

 

She was almost but not quite attractive

no slave to the subliminal ads of cosmetics

she dressed in cheaply made pink flamingo shirts

and light brown skinny jeans a size too big

 

Her only limitation was the fiscal black hole 

she lived, commonly known as higher education.

Nothing but apathy for lesser beings, she had big plans

 to paint the cosmos with her stellar intellect.

Thanks Noodle, it was a blast to write.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes this sucks alright. Contest time

[icelandicblue]

I could only do what I could do...thanks.

[TL Boehm]

why did this make such sense then if its a bad poem. I think I am related to this girl.

[icelandicblue]

I just couldn't write something that didn't make sense. My brain wouldn't let me do it. Thanks again for reading and commenting.

[Rita L. Sev]

Love what you did with the list, Blue! I bet a psychologist would have a field day reading what each person does with a list of random words... :)

[icelandicblue]

It is a most interesting experiment. Like a Rorschach test comprised of words. Thanks so much.

This is awesome!! I was reading some of the comments below after I read this and this is so "Big Bang Theory", I can completely see this as a mix of the women like you stated, Penny, Amy and a little Bernadette sprinkled in. This was great on it's own, but completely enhanced by knowing where your mind was when you wrote it. I love that show and did a great job with the words given!!

[icelandicblue]

How could I forget Bernadette! Somehow I had a purpose for those words but I enjoyed your sultry piece that you did for the contest more than my academic piece, lol. Thanks Dye.

[Angel]

Amazing...
I'm still looking at the list, scratching my head, and going..."what the..."

All I can do is bow my head and say...

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[icelandicblue]

Aw shucks, thanks a bunch Angel.

[Angel]

How you made such a beautiful poem out of that bunch of words, I'll never figure out. My hat is off to you, Luv!!

[Aethereal]

It's wonderful how you fit all those words together into an elegant weave. I did this with my poem "Armageddon" using eight words. I have several college degrees, but all my intellect ever did for me was show me how little I know. Knowledge is expanding at such a rate that only a super being would be able to hold it all. Creativity combined with a non-violent emotional temperament is the real measure of intelligence. The Internet now helps me to find the knowledge that I need as the building blocks required by my creativity.

[icelandicblue]

Education gives us knowledge, knowledge leads us to understanding but it is how we apply it that really counts in the end. Thanks so much for your comment and I am flattered by your description of an "elegant weave."

Brown skinny jeans and pink flamingo shirts? Hey, wait, I just saw a lady at the condominium pool wearing that outfit! LOL Not sure you are painting the cosmos with your stellar intellect, but it exists for sure...and this poem proves it. You did a great job with the words. Lydi**

[icelandicblue]

I worked with the clay I was given. Thanks Lydi for your kind words.

[Pete Langley]

The antecedents of William Macgonagall (not sure of the spelling) would be proud, Blue....he thought he was brilliant!!! Nicely concocted! P.

[icelandicblue]

Why thank you very much Pete. So very nice to see you again.

I...yes...made me smile. This kind of a challenge reminds me of something from Spinal Tap...'The more things change, the less things stay the same.' Thanx for posting...bobc

[icelandicblue]

I love these challenges. It's so interesting what we all do with the words given. Love the quote from Spinal Tap. Thanks so much.
