skonen_bladesThere's an event called A Day at the Races where poets go to the horse races and they each pick a horse name at random from each of the seven races and then use that name as a prompt for a poem. At the end of the day, we read out the 'winning' poem from each race and then whatever other poems we think turned out pretty good. It's a fun day.
This is poem 04 from race 04 and my horse's name was Synergy.
----------------
Synergy
Promote synergy
Like Jem and the Holograms
At a business meeting in hell.
For the music industry sacrifice
On the altar of youth
The cash goes in
The cheekbones sharpen
Each gold record taking one soul’s worth
Several gold records putting your soul
Into the negative
With platinum confirming immortality
At the cost of the synergy
Of every reason
You came here
In the first place
