I love this non-sensical junk mail that I receive in my inbox. I got this one today, and really, it's almost like reading poetry.....except it doesn't make any sense!
Awesome.

now that should be a contest. Two teams... each has to pick up a newsource of some kind (free or otherwise) and in an allotted amount of time (with several rules and restrictions in place) piece together as much poetry as possible from the newspaper/magazine or whatever digestable literature they chose/recieved. And then points are awarded based on use of the language, quality of the poems structure, rhythm and rhyme (if applicable) as well as other points awarded for say length, style, and voice. Cause poetry's all about having a voice. You could talk for hours about shit, but if you don't sell it when you present it, no ones gonna give a rats ass.

Great idea! Except that the majority of the evaluation will be done on an 'enjoyability' factor - how much you liked the piece...and if it something you are drawn to. Because if you're gonna say it out loud, there's a measure of performance to factor in.

But I'm in. We should have a poetry showdown with the recycled words of news makers. I think it's brilliant.
