I don’t write poetry much any more – probably since I found an old notebook from when I was an angsty teenager.
But then I bought some magnetic poetry – the Shakespeare edition, the food edition and the music edition for a bit of variety. Because it’s just taking words that are already there and playing around with them, it doesn’t feel like writing poetry; it just feels like having fun.
Eat oft this luscious symphony Of pink lust and drunken lover's grace And sing melancholy from sweet jam tongue For there is much ado about trifle

‘sweet jam tongue’ brilliant!
Thank you! Somehow having a finite universe of words to work with in magnetic poetry makes it so much more fun.
