Fridge-magnet words
I've been staring at this unseparated block of fridge-magnet words for two years. This morning I finally understood what they were trying to tell me:

Has anyone else discovered the messages hidden in these things? I'd love to see other works inspired by random conjunctions of words, from whatever source.

Great stuff, Liana! Where did that conjunction of words ("neversoon") come from?
David Bowie, is this an idea or does the work exist? If the latter please post a URL.

check out the work of The Meta Hierarchy (i think that is the name of the poet/s in question)

I'm not sure where the title "Neversoon" came from. "Sharpsoft was a fridge magnet thing thats been stuck together for ages, and I just took the idea and went with it, trying to push more words together in the piece, just for effect I suppose. Thats how "hushmuffled" came about as well.

Liana once sent me a magnetic poetry web page with random words. I found the exercise hugely entertaining.
This was my submission from a bizarre collection of words.
Magnetic Poetry Sub
Swallowed by liquid heaven
Drowning in paper ice
I follow the shadow music -
Picture dark giraffes
Walking softly on tender shadows.
Stars burn a firework night
Of pink ribboned sleep,
A gift of fingers whispering
Follow,
Your heart belongs.

Eric might be onto something big here.
in kitchen cups concupiscent curds
melodious skeletons
gallant chateau
mickey mockers
caftan of tan with henna hackles halt
not as when the goldener nude
no possum, no sop, no taters
