For years now, I have asked people for words to make poetry with. Whether I'm at a party, in a discord server, or on a date, my little party trick is making poetry on the spot. I decided to take my passion to Farcaster. I asked people in the /poetry channel for 3 words to create poems with. I'll update this post as more people comment and more poetry is written, so click here if you'd like to participate.

SQUEEZE PLASTIC WASHINGTON

@torii-stories

i heard my tribe is in washington

but seattle tends to shun

the powerful rays of the sun

that i must make my offerings to 

texas is in red and they are in blue

but purple is where i find my truth 

because i see entities with virtue 

when i squeeze into the middle 

politics to me mean very little 

when the universe has so many riddles

but everyone else they seem to piddle

when plastic is busy poisoning our home

where is the violet commune? 

TRIPPY YACHT BUFFET

@coolbeans1r.eth

my mind’s baggage 

sits bubble wrapped

in a package 

i’m shipping it 

on a trippy ship

called the psilocybin yacht

i’m sending this box 

to arrive when the clock

strikes 4:44

so the future me 

will have more and more

to digest

during her test

that she will be preparing for 

by consuming

a mushroom buffet 

that will accelerate her blooming

into one day

the wonderful cherry tree

she knows she’s supposed to be 

PAPER HANDS VISAGE 

@maretus.eth 

behind this peculiar mirage

you will see my ethereal visage 

watching the montage 

of my life go by 

as i ask myself why

i tear paper from notebooks 

and rip up all my good hooks

my hands demand

to write for the masses 

who don’t understand 

something deeper than what 

they already know 

i want to show them the ether’s glow
