The Muddy Monongahela by Linda Fuller My heart needs a defibrillator as her hips engage in industrial revolution while I knead her doughy bundt cake eaten and frosted her slippery budgie grips my rubber chicken she wetly whispers “Skippy” my welt is all schmerz and I am the width of one blastocyst away from the rictus of origami (the science of folding paper into whooping cranes) derricks, looming gewgaws, line the falling banks of the muddy Monongahela. 05/29/2010 Author's Note: Inspired by Ten Tips for Beating Writer's Block! (A Prose Parody) by Bruce W Niedt (2/16/04) Posted on 05/30/2010 Copyright © 2024 Linda Fuller Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 06/02/10 at 11:58 AM Well, I'm glad a poem I inspired became POTD, LOL! Well-deserved, by the way - the playfulness of the language (almost read like a "language poem" but with more syntax), the double entendres, etc. Somehow, you took all those disparate words I suggested as a tongue-in-cheek writing prompt and made them work! Posted by Therese Elaine on 06/04/10 at 04:06 PM I do really love the playfulness of this -the way that it all meshes together in a bizarrely complementary fashion!!! For a writing exercise, this is most excellent!!
