The 10 Word Poetry Game

Okay, bringing back a game ddgryphon started years ago...
Write a poem using as many of the 10 words provided in this post as possible. This doesn't have to be a write it here and now kind of thing, you can think about it and come back to it. These are 10 random words chosen from a page. It is fun to try to think of different contexts in which to use common words. (these words are not ddgryphon's original words btw)



official
attention
age
racket
fuel
support
house
another
mean
vast




The fun will be seeing how many different interpretations develop from a single set of words.

Have fun.

Dubbing official, another means
of saying so is so
though attention spans go quickening
and through the fields we go
as mobster mobs and racket ears
and politic in house
declare a vast plurality
and fidelity to their spouse
I mean to say what's what is when
and how is why is who
another word and I'll get support
from you know, they, and you
but at this age my fuel is low
and news is worthy less
I'll shut my mouth and close my eyes
and do what I think's best

I suppose this game could use a different set of 10 words.

Howzabout we change the game so that the person posting a poem lists another set of 10.

Or a new set by the person posting the 10th poem using the ten words. That way you get variety and still get to see the words used differently.

Excellent idea!
