Day 181:

Dec 28- Surrealism, experiment. Make up words, or randomly pick from a book, magazine, newspaper, box of cereal, then make a poem out of those words. The following poem I took from random words and phrases from a couple of Astronomy books, and fit into a sonata like form, a,b,c,b,a. I alternated the syllable count  to be 6,8,6,8,6. Some surrealists take a single word or phrase, and randomly placed them within the poem. Some use dice to pick out the phrases. For example, I could have rolled the phrase “Cathedral stands great and small.” OR “Nature’s Diamond.” I limited the randomness to hopefully produce a meaningful poem. Title: Cosmos(#11,978)

 Across the great divide

Universes great and small
Can there be more than one?
Nature’s cathedral stands for all
Diamond skies on God’s side.
