The Beautiful World of Spoetry

The Beautiful World of Spoetry

Email spam turned into poetry. It's as simple as that.
We have done our best to preserve the integrity of the senders words and the syntax in which they were sent. They only thing we're left to ponder is how to break down the lines. We strive for direct translations here at ArtsPreserve and we have three of the best spoetryists in the business. They understand meter like nobody we know. Actually, we think they understand meter. That's what they say.
These words are taken directly from the "nonsense" at the ends of our spam. All we do is sit back, check our emails and bathe in the huge amounts of creative material flirting with us and wishing to be shared. Some of it made up laugh, and some, well...made us think. A lot of it was put away from stealing eyes and will probably be used for song or CD titles. But that's us.
Here's a few we'd like to start off with. This first piece was sent to us from "Poppy Stimulielector".

Too many to count
gin boastful
seersucker at suggestive
or even bobbie as in coralline
Darryl was at fairfax
when that happened
semi Selkirk.
chloroform at edison or even irritate
as in organ
coerce the soap dissemble

This second work is from "Nip Chisox" and reminds us of an eclogue. Or maybe some type of confessional poem about Hank. Who knows.

Hank was a metronome
when that happened
fitzpatrick, simons and best curium friends
The comedy of the pleat change
in beltsville might st. hope
to ombudsperson the bragg past,
and to carib so

This last piece is from the artist "Wagoneer Elgin". Elgin's work reads like a letter and seems the most personal of the three. The last two lines are heartbreaking and we do hope fiberglass gets this news.

dear fiberglass
me denigrate
some particulars concerning
other deserving
members

that trying climate
fear that it might displease him
trickle world I had emerged
my health is suffering
I may be reduced
to the necessity of returning

Here's an update with a few recent spoetry works.

This first piece was sent from the great spoetrist Kelly Sherman. It's called Arabesquealison Stirrup.

Hello roar
did you ever breed any retrogression?
I am doubtful whether I was heart glad or sorry
when my eclectic old boy don't be overpowered
And yet he was glad too
I thought to see
how the delight
He looked at me
just as he used to look sometimes

This next piece is also from Sherman.

His old pupil reddening in the blaze
I shall not see many more new faces in Katheryn
Salem House where Mr. Creakle had laid about
him with a heavy hand
I would have
But morning brought with it my parting from the old house
