Oullipo

At bat, catcher Dan Ecksburg finally gets homeruns
Intense,
Jolly kids,
Laughing men now obviously pained.
Quickly retort such terrible unplanned victory,
Xanthippe yearning Zoma’.

Can You find the rules? Through the alphabet each word starts with the next letter.

Authentic bubbles cloud dark ectasy
found gargling heroes insect.

Fun poem. Pretty weird that a stranger has found your site isn't it. That is something sort of wonderful about blogs. We run across each other. Peace -cindy

Good poem, Taylor. It does make sense, and the first three lines read so smoothly-- they don't feel forced into the rules.

I like the rules you came up with, it is similar to what I used, Nice job. It's kind of wierd how the oulipo just seems to have a mind of it't own isn't it?
