EXQUISITE+CORPSE+POEMS

Exquisite Corpse is a collaborative poetry game that traces its roots to the Parisian Surrealist Movement. Exquisite Corpse is played by several people, each of whom writes a word on a sheet of paper, folds the paper to conceal it, and passes it on to the next player for his or her contribution. The name "Exquisite Corpse" comes from a line of poetry created using the technique: "The exquisite corpse will drink the young wine." Below are exquisite corpse poems created by Mr. Wright's Literature students. Enjoy!

by the 2015 4-B class || Water slams over the bow crashing down hard on the dock as the veteran captain smokes his cigarette and curses the sea men.
 * =BOAT=

The clouds part to reveal a large shadow obscuring the sun.

A simple ship orbiting the skies with an unknown crew and unknown importance.

Chugging down the river, //toot. toot.//

Mickey Mouse at the wheel.

Boat. U-Boat. Germany. Hitler. || Life of Pi say bye bye to Richy Richy Parker Parky Park Tigers don’t bark. Tree.

Just chillin’ on my boat in this here moat. It’s a boat.

The cheerful vessel embarks on a voyage of leisure.

//Toot. Toot. Tug.// goes the boat.

Loose lips sink ships.

//I’ll never let go Jack!//

Sinking. Falling. It’s all the same.

The sinker sank it. I’m on a boat that could sink or float. ||

**DUCK: JUST SOMETHING I WROTE I DON’T REALLY CARE I JUST LIKE PIE WHAT THE DUCK THIS QUACKS ME UP DON’T READ THIS POEM IS FOWL THIS IS THE BILL TO MY DUCK** The beady eyes stare deep into the soul. the glossy-ness and opaque eyes hardening to each secret.
 * Crossing roads in Boston

This decoy fools other ducks.

The duck blends into the night.

I hate when my phone auto corrects to duck, and why can’t I go ice skating in central park?

High fiving CE-LO Green, while drinking SEVEN UP-- straight ducking!

Oh how I wish I was real. duck, duck, goose.

What the duck is going on here? I opened my door to find my wife covered in ducks. This is to all who have bored wives: they might go to ducks for love! They're so bill-tiful. Give her the duck!

Bobbers wait on stagnant ponds, pulled under with a sharp jolt. It hides behind dark feathers, except for the red-orange-white target on either wing.

The duck is a decoy for real duck that is too smart for your hunting antics. The duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand, // hey, hey, hey, got any grapes? // || Quack Quack Quack blank orange vibrant darkness. Quack! The patient died!

The duck drove a truck and lucked out because he sucked on a lollipop and threw a puck.

// Quack, Quack, Quack //

this duck’s fresher than a tic tac.

Springing out of the water silently,

the duck’s cologne goes unmatched. I take the wooden rifle and BANG! the creature is mine.

Maybe it’s a duck, or a horse, or a face, or a hairy tent.

Its beady eyes glare at you from every direction.

Used to practice the art of killing, sweet, with big brown eyes.

Its brown, green, and orange feathers stood on end as it sprayed that’s desthicable!

Forever the majestic duck, // Quack. Quack. Quack. Quack. // // Meow. // ||

DILF (Duck I Like To Feed) by 4-A (2014)


 * I wish I was a duck.

The duck brings me good luck. The duck dodges drugs down Denver roads Fly away duck, your people need you.

"Quack, Quack," says the duck, the peaceful wind soothes me I am a decoy luring the ignorant to their deaths, "QUACK! QUACK! MUTHERDUCKER!"

The Versace duck quacked at the DILFs.

It's a mallard, not a duck.

He cries, "Run comrades stay free! Don't be blind  to those men in the blinds.

duck, duck GOOSE! || The duck began howling like the swirling storm inside he couldn't keep it in, heaven knows he tried. It was slowly caressed into a dreamlike state.

quack quack quack QUACK quack quack quack

No more flapping and quacking and paddling --plastic cage. The kids think the duck is just a toy, but he's alive.

Mr. and Mrs Duck were very disappointed mentioned in casual conversation-- a warning or a bird?

Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you. ||

LAMP

The lamp flicks on at exactly 12:01 for the moth-like ghouls.

Lamps provide light.

A lamp literally leaks lucid light shining bright "like a diamond", some would say, shines into the dark exposing all its light: opener of the mind.

Light them up Oh, how your light beckons me. Reveals the monsters stalking through the dark.

The shade conceals escaping light.

What kind of sorcery is this? Its brightness blinds us. Lamp.

=The Puppeteer= The delighted doll startled the sleeping Steven and elegantly strolled down the street dancing until her heart was content riding chariots of fiery victory over the bodies of thousands of stegosauri.

She crept into my room and watched me sleep. This doll will lead to my fall and bleed my doom until I crawl.

Creepy doll, stares at you, pretty freaky, lolwut. The baby is Zach. James is a baby.

Young woman dancing for the kings and queens.

Evil doll kills all.

Mr. Wrights demonstrative minion. She is desperate to dance. With a pull of her strings and the sway of her skirts. Held up only by a couple of strings. The children smile as the man moves the puppet with a flick of his finger. It looks like a creepy exquisite corpse. Creepy eyes watching you. She dances away from the natural chains. A bright rainbow shone over her like a colorful bag of skittles. Stares into your soul like a stalker… Angry dolls controlled by a God’s hand- The cavalry has arrived. I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment dies. The curtain closes on the stage and the puppet master laughs manically as the audience slowly flies out of the theater.

"I'm trapped inside these clear walls Quarter for three wishes Where is my body? .gnihtemos ti deksa uoy fi klat t'now ylbaborp daeh ehT Oh what a visage through yonder bubble gum machine appears! Barbie, Barbie, wherefore art thou Barbie? Why must thee be constrained to be Ken's pair for the rest of eternity? Only but thou art Barbie! The doll head came to be stuck in the gum machine because she committed a violent act. Give me $.25 and you may receive my head. The object creeped everyone out. The head was all that was left. Fighting for life in a sea of fish. Drowning in her own head. Where did the gumballs go? Person who made it has problems. Gumball massacre. Her hair looked like a rat's nest. The head screamed in pain as its master switched the blender into the "on" position. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;">Rise up mighty proletariat and fight for mother Russia! <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;">Thus, the velot stumbled, eyes ablaze the force of a rock. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;">Spaceman with a sugar addiction. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;">The wispy brown material broke through the surface of the gumball like grass. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;">And so, the story ends."
