‘Do you want these waves
of diamides, Sire? It’s a basic
fact no one can savor them.’
‘He already outate me’
mutters the auditor of mohels
busy measuring his leg.
‘How many effs in effing?’
The questions nag.
He fingers a facial zit
flaring up, an expression
of ka, perhaps, a weber
of magnetic flux
in a health extension worker.
Nothing a jab of frog spawn
won’t fix, pus on a pinny
stored in the editor file
of artificial intelligence.
He calls for lox, bagels,
trout and matzo balls.
Instantly a jinn
delivers them.
(an attempt to 'find' a poem with the words used in my last game of Scrabble)
A worthy attempt, middling coherent. Beware of lox on bagels: some definitions render them hard and hostile to the tongue.

Thanks! But - but - bagels and lox, with cream cheese, are traditional!

Liquid oxygen probably wouldn't help the consistency of the cream cheese, either
.
Interesting bit. I understand about trying to find prompts
and inspiration from things. A plainer block fonts, lest it's all meant
to remain a mystery, would be nice for the actual words used.
I love SCRABBLE, used to be good, but haven't played a game in years.
Glad you got to play and enjoy, who won?

Hi nibbed - thanks for the read and comment. I'm not sure what 'a plainer block fonts' means though.
I play Scrabble online, always have 12 games going at a time. So far I win 67% of the time.

Hi just mercedes
12 games?! That's amazing! I've heard a lot of good things about Scrabble online. I was thinking the physical, not the virtual. I was thinking about the words you used in the game, that you put into your poem, might have a different print from the rest of the poem. I can't get over the fact you manage 12 games, that's what I call FUN multi-tasking!
