As a creative I ask for the chance to break the rules  here\'s my poem based just on Row A...The establishment.
Pigs feeding at the trough.
Eagle gives illusion of freedom, hawk oversees regime.
Rats, you\'re free to suckle on our teat and do as we tell you!
Our nectar is ripe for consumption! Panem et circenses, nothing ever changes!
We should rise up and take a pig-sticker to those bloated carcasses - nobody ever will.

Ok, here\'s my legit one:Peace is war
Freedom is slavery
Nothing lasts forever
Sword welcomes new eraScorched earth
Poison the well
Burn the fields
Scream, aim, fireShow no mercy
Martyr them all
Circling vultures
Slate wiped cleanWe are your leaders
Changes are needed
Slavery is freedom
War is peace

It\'s like... kinda feels like a political speech or a war song type of deal. Really like how you used the given words to create this!Awesome!!

If I\'m going to suck at forcing myself to write, I might aswell have fun!

I rolled a 1, so - Group A:1. establishment 2. pig-sticker 3. eagle 4.changes 5.suckle 6.nectar

\"The Weird-Establishment\"

I sought out changes,
To refresh my mind,
And to find a place to eat,
So the past was left behind,

I found a new location,
And all seemed great,
Then I noticed nectar on the menu,
Which sealed all but my fate,

The Establishment at glance,
Had a good appearance,
Everything looked clean and new,
Yet something crushed my perseverance,

In the window there was a pig-sticker,
With David's dear best friend,
Appearing in writing by its side,
A weird style of trend,

On one wall,
I could see an eagle,
It's claws sharp like daggers,
And in one corner a stuffed beagle!

Feeling taken back,
I went to leave,
And just as I did,
In entered 'Steve',

Declaring his passion for suckle,
He boasted with glee,
And that was the point,
I decided to flee!

Holy crap awesome.  Wasn\'t that fun?

It\'s encouraging, we need to see a few more partake in this.

Oooofff... now that is good. Really evocative, really emotive. Can really picture it in my head, beautiful choice of words, and so well constructed. Bravo!

Here\'s my lame attempt at this. I used to write a lot of poetry until one day when I stopped completely. I haven\'t written for an audience for a very long time... Words I got: Changes Circling Ripe Moth Hide Autumn leaves fall while rain drip dropsAmong the ripe red applesFor a momentBreath stops. Seasons come and go like changes doLike eagles circling preyLike you. In those last moments you finally sawThe death mothCan only hideInside the raven's claw.

I used to write a lot of poetry until one day when I stopped completely. I haven\'t written for an audience for a very long time...  \"Seasons come and go like changes do Like eagles circling prey Like you.\" [/quote]This was exactly the point of an exercise like this.  To shake off the rust a bit. Also to have an activity that is good for any skill level that pretty much anyone who tries this will hopefully get something out of doing it.  Everyone who has done this to date has made a poem, some of the poems are more finished than others true, but I think that has just been experience shining through.  Everyone who has written something for this exercise regardless of the quality of the finished piece has I believe a great framework for a really good poem and should be proud of the fact that they were able to take a bunch of random words and make connections with them, which I believe at it\'s heart, poetry is best at.  Making connections that we would maybe perhaps not normally make or give much though too.  Not a single poem that I have read from 5 Random Words Challenge has failed to make connections some of them more common in life than others, but all of them stand on their own and are unique  and their authors should be proud.  Moving on to talk about your poem specifically FrostyKitten It was hard not to quote the whole thing and talk about it all but I just picked the verse that made me clap my hand and cheer as I was reading it.  The last line is GOLD GOLD GOLD.  As I read \'Seasons come and go like changes do. Like eagles circling prey\"  I was not even thinking of what the next line would be and the fact that is was \"Like you\"  was PERFECT.  Very powerful to me, it was like a jolt and I LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT.You may not have written a poem in a while and To not write for an audience is your choice of course, but if you ask me that would be doing the world at large a disservice.  If I was going to edit this poem to a more finished piece, I would try to keep the imagery you have and work on word selection for the meter.  I tend to not write things that rhyme much anymore, but I believe that meter is most important in poetry that rhymes. Thank you for participating.  I hope to see you do the next challenge too /emoticons/smile.png\" alt=\":)\" title=\":) date=1443190242]
