Broken G String
Salacious music in an
8-track coarse bustle.
A homeward spoon fling.
Elocution more like a
rancid diode rant.
Its hitch will coagulate
in a gamey froth.
A burdensome old leg comes
from singing the blues.
Succinctly, what I wrote to the Read Write Poem Prompt #88.
I believe that I used all of the following words: spoon, fling, rancid, 8-track, coagulate, froth, salacious, diode, rant, hitch, bustle, coarse, elocution and homeward.

I really like “A homeward spoon fling.”

There were a lot of good words in that bunch.
Maybe we could do a remix someday : )

I wish I knew more about music and guitars so I could make an informed comment! The poem is dense, compacting the prompt words very tightly. The blues are tight, too, aren’t they? The blues follow tight rules about what should be sung, varied, repeated, in only three lines?
