For Creative Writing.

Assignment: Random words epigraph: Randomly choose 15 entries from your dictionary. Copy down the words closest to where your finger lands on the page. Shape your list of entries into a poem, using at least ten of them.

My list: (Note, you might want to read through the list before the poem. I didn't know what half these words meant.)

Muscat: Having the smell or flavor of musk
Recommendation: The act of recommending
Joint: Where two things are joined
Cher chez la femme: “Look for a woman” said humorously to suggest that a woman may be the cause of a problem
Solemnize: To celebrate with a formal ceremony or according to a ritual
Tricrotic: Designating or of a pulse having three separate rhythmic waves to each beat
Coaptation: An accurate joining together
Bedlam: An old insane asylum
Honeyed: Sweetened; covered or filled with honey
Outspoken: Unrestrained in speech
Rise: To raise or lift something
Suborn: To furnish or adorn
Irrupt: To burst suddenly or violently
Deadening: A material used to make rooms sound proof
Writhe: To suffer great emotional distress

And finally, the poem:

Operation Malfunction

Sitting in the hospital bed
White room, surrounding
Footsteps resounding
Head pounding
Recommendation: Operation
Parents to visit
Lay the blame
“Cher chez la femme,”
They would say
He didn’t care anyway.

Left unspoken
Honeyed expressions kept him broken
Stuck in the muscat room
Never open.
Feeling tricrotic heartbeats
Deadbeat defeat
Midnight; Bright light
Man in white.
Operation confrontation
Hesitation with frustration.

Time to solemnize!
Successful coaptation
To end his frustration
False joint
He proved his point.
Now to irrupt!
Writhe on the broken!
Feed the outspoken!
Suborn the bedlam.
Rise the deadening.

Run amok
Press your luck
Pass the buck.
Man in white;
Syringe;
Buckle;
Cringe.
Padded cell
Break his shell
He goes insane within this Hell.

Definitely interesting and written in Pup style. The diction was a little off in my opinion, an illiterate reader will now know what's being said. But very good. I like the beat.

Now, before this ole chick comments, on what you have written, I say this: (Blushes)
You so intimate me! Mostly, due to you are fine writer. With that said, we all appreciate having others read and comment our written works.

Enjoy the pictures that you create. Your word usuage turned out well and seems to make it so that it all fits to make sense.
I have no suggestion for improvement but you have inspired me to try the same disctionary technique to write a poetic work.

Thank you, for your kindness in sharing!

Sincerely.......
