Spam Poem 1 Year ago Karma: 3  
This marks my first foray into the improbable world of spam poetry. Not all of what you will read below is random, parts have been edited, connections made to ease a minimum of flow into the lines. No new words or synctactic elements have been added, however.

But overall it retains the sense of utter gibberish that is spam mail and that is the point—that there’s a place even for gibberish in this world.

Where lamps are lit: these, too,
Snaps of ice cracking in the hidden air.
Suddenly, in a savage, dreadful bend,
Thinking of your abiding spirit brings
their bellies, they're out cold, instantaneously
As it sits there like an eventual
To run, seeking Snow haze gleams like sand.
Will sound, then the Lord's face will luminesce their bellies,
That desire has ever built, have approached
Green lilac buds appear that won't survive
Side of the painting, the world of that wise, white, rain.
We are forced to fly, Chose to walk out of it, they'd have to pass
He is the mute white stony shape
Where lamps are lit: these, too

You get some rather amazing spam, Steve. I love what you did to it, though.

Fun with spam 1 Year ago Karma: 3  
I rarely open spam mail at all, only the few _title_s that catch my eye. The one above came as one long block of text without punctuation, almost an array of keywords, automatically generated by some spam guru’s _script_.

I had a little fun with it!

It's great that you can even think about poetry and spam at the same time. Yes sometimes the subject heading is slightly inspiring but after opening the email there is for me a feeling of falling into a pit and I crawl out as fast as I can.
What you've made from spam is amazing, Steve.
