David Trinidad had a list of words that should never go in poems.
But I can't remember them now.
I think one was miasma.
Or maybe it was gloaming.
I don't like bones (though they are very useful in the body).
I have been known to purposely include cringemaking words tho, just to see if I could do it.
It's funny to write OTT poems in overblown language full of poetry words.
I like the purposely bad.
Especially when they rhyme.
Or are on silly topics, such as cheese.
There's a kind of wobbly funked-up tension between tone and effect in such hideous verse that I find elating.
One of the things I like about flarf, actually, too.
