Lethal Rainstorms – A Two Dimensional Video Poem

This is best viewed in full screen

These two dimensional poems are constructed using the following procedure:

I generate a list of 12 random wordsI generate a single random word for a themeand a single random word for the titleI construct a poem using the 12 words (some or all – depending.  The two dimensional poems in this video format require fairly short poems)I then deconstruct the first poem and produce a second poem from the parts of the first. This often includes a little adjusting so that the poems are satisfactory in my mind.Lethal Rainstorms

Lethal

At an ordinary station (in life)
Known – wielding the word as a boundary
Impotent against rainstorms and ghosts
Striped like a tiger,
or someone bearing the scars of a lashing.
You choose, sadness is only a clue

Rainstorms

a clue wielding a tiger.
Striped, only as a boundary in life is.
The word and station
choose a bearing of the scars known.
Lashing at you, lethal like an
ordinary ghost or someone impotent against sadness
