Marshmallow Fields

marshmallow  fields strikes

laughter tango screeches 

scramble aliens jump

memory melting horizon

formless energy

I //

                   soul //

                                                 sparkling

sucks life with big bang

zang..blong..wroom..

no-sense words do ballet

trying to //

                                         search //

                                                                              myself

My attempt of Dada poetry for the prompt Dadaism

  1. First, that title and picture are so eye-catching ~ Formless words and no-sense words doing ballet, looks entrancing ~ Trying to search oneself is always a journey ~

  3. Well I can see dada as 'no sense words do ballet.' And your poem was quite a dance. Smiles.

  5. Reading yours, I realized how much synesthesia can be a Dadaist tool. So well captured.

  10. On point, plied they (the ballerina nonsense word) arabesque, jenet turn and lift in tours astounding shouting deafening feet, so sweet they protest gravity.

    Liked it much!

  11. You opted for the harder of choices, random words (cut out or imagined) that absurdly connect with each because you have directed them too; like an abstract artist, Picasso turning a bicycle into a bull, just because he said so. Nice response to the prompt.
