Mods - if this seems to be a bit too self-promoting - kill it..
Anyway --
Miskie's Big Book of Poetry is a collection of all of my Calpeg parodies and spoofs - all in one place ! - So, if you are looking for a nice bedtime story for the children.. find something in the Big Book of Mother Goose. But, if you are constipated, or a bulimic looking for 'inspiration', this is the thread for you !
miskie's CalPeg poetry Primer
Wanna write your own CalPeg prose ? Here are a few easy steps and soon you will be making them retch like a pro !
1. find an object and describe it
Microsoft Natural Keyboard
curved, black, buttons, hard, soft, worn, white, silver.
2. Find an object or action that some or all of the descriptive words may apply to, preferably something sexual, violent, or sad.
An old whore.
3. Write a couple of sentences that merge the symbolism.
My keyboard is curved, like an old whore's ass - old and worn, hard and unforgiving in most places, but still soft and forgiving in a few. They both have jobs to do, and do them regularly without emotion or complaint. Both are dressed in black, with silver accents.
4. Break the sentences up into segments, and reorder them -eliminate capitalization and punctuation

curved and worn
like an old whore
hard
unforgiving
yet soft in some
places
wearing black
as they work
tirelessly
feeling nothing
never complaining
as they serve
all of
mankind
