New Arrival

[rusty_armour]

Before you ask, the new arrival isn't My Big Fat Medieval AU IV: The Howl of Ye Bakerstreete (though, naturally, I'm still thrilled about it), but a new fridge. This new fridge:





Yeah, I know. Not exactly the most exciting thing ever, though I certainly found it a welcome sight as my old fridge was dying. And see how clean and pristine it is. Mark it well because it won't stay that way for long. Oh, it might last a day or two if I'm feeling particularly lazy, but, eventually, it will be covered with the same junk that graced the old fridge. This includes my magnetic poetry. While many of the words were scattered randomly over the surface of the fridge, I did manage to form some of them into poems -- works that both my mom and a friend found deeply disturbing for some reason.


who would sense this deep blue
water is hard glass
empty & dead


smear shimmering paint on
every mad metaphor
to open our concrete studio
in a raw electric scream
of psychadelic death


I see fiery impressions
fashioned in rigid
aesthetic canvases
wasted junk subject only to
angry absurd thinking
too young for life
but as old as dust


Okay, maybe they're a bit dark, but it's hard to write anything else with the choice of words you're given. I'm actually debating whether I should put the old poems back up or try to write some new material. And, yes, I know it's been less than a week since my last poll, but they're almost as much fun as magnetic poetry:

Oooh, shiny new appliances are always worth post about. ;)

Oh, thank you! I'm happy you think so! :-)

You forgot the "all of above" option, girl. All of the above. :)

Nice frdge, I would need to put many magnets on it.

LOL! I almost did include it! Wishing I had now! *g*

Oh, I've got magnets. Way too many magnets. I even made some magnets at one point. I can honestly say that magnets won't be a problem. *g*

Ooooh pretty. I can always appreciate a new and shiny appliance. Yay for new things to replace the broken stuff. Have fun with the poetry :)

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you can appreciate a new and shiny appliance! I was definitely in need of one as I'm pretty sure milk is meant to be a liquid rather than a solid. *g* And I'm sure I will have fun with the poetry -- more fun than I probably should. ;-)

Your new fridge looks good. I need a new one, but there're always better things to spend money on!

Your fridge poetry is a bit dark, but also beautiful.

I'm glad you like the new fridge. :-) I actually had no choice as the old fridge was pretty much dead. As I told funkyinfishnet, milk (in my experience) should be a liquid rather than a solid. And, hey, having things like cold pop is pretty cool. *g* I should also point out that I didn't have to pay for the fridge -- except in the form of rent. It was building management that replaced it. However, in my defence, I'm not sure how old my old fridge was. It was already there when I started living in my current abode.

Your fridge poetry is a bit dark, but also beautiful.

Oh, thank you! :-) I don't think anyone has ever said it was beautiful before. Dark, yes, but not beautiful. *g*

I voted for new poems because you've already recorded the old ones.

Your lovely new fridge will look better when it is "properly dressed" in poetry. Go thou and poetize.

Yeah, that makes total sense. I know that option has received the most votes so far, and I'm kind of leaning in that direction.

Yeah, it doesn't really feel like it belongs to me yet, so I'll probably bond with it better when it's covered with my crap -- poetry and otherwise. Yes, I must go forth and poetize. *g*

The weasel"

(loose translation of a quote by a Dutch comedian)

I remember those magnets! Yay, for the new fridge - may it serve you for many years to come! :)

Very cool! I like it! :-)

No doubt they were seared into your memory. I fear that anyone who has been exposed to them is doomed to remember them forever. *g*

I really like:

"who would sense this deep blue

Hee! when the image hit my flist, I wondered, why does that kitchen look familiar? Nice and shiny! New appliances are always exciting! I want to pet it!

Why, thank you! :-) I think the best thing about this cheerful little verse is that it's mercifully short. *g*

LOL! I've posted some strange things in my time, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've included a picture of my fridge in an LJ entry. I don't think the fridge even made it into any of my action figure stories...Oh...Now, there's a thought. *g*

Nice and shiny! New appliances are always exciting!

It's nice and shiny and-and-and...it makes things COLD! It's so incredibly awesome that way! :-D

I want to pet it!

I promise that you can pet it as much as you'd like next time you come over. :-D

Yay! A new fridge.

All I do is put magnets from places I've been myself or my friends have been to and stare at them, wishing I could be there. *sigh*

Good luck with your poetry.

Thank you, tazzles! It's been working out really well so far! :-)

All I do is put magnets from places I've been myself or my friends have been to and stare at them, wishing I could be there. *sigh*

Oh, I do that too. I've had both friends and relatives give me magnets from places they've visited. Of course, I've collected some myself. I have way too many magnets, actually.

Good luck with your poetry.

Thanks again! :-) I haven't been inspired yet, but the words are back up on the fridge so at least that's a start. *g*
