CONTRIBUTE: Lets Write A Poem
Ever heard of a Flarf? Yeah, my neither. Furd, maybe, but never a Flarf. Anyway, this morning Jason Kottke alerted me to the newly minted and somewhat questionable art form of Flarf, buy which poets are crafting poems using random bits of pieces taken from Google searches. Fun, right? Time to twist it doggle-style. Go to your email, find the last email somebody forwarded you (not just sent you, but actually forwarded) and post either the subject or first line in the comments below. Every ten or so I’m combine them just as they came in, but all stacked together for readability into a poem. Here’s hoping we come up with something fun…

That one was cryptic, yet deep somehow. I had to cut the following though:
