asparagus in the headlines: Found poetry

asparagus signals

Spring (groups’ lobby)

for Texas.

 

To take action on equal pay,

self-cleaning ovens have

drawbacks, bottles each.

 

Deserve to be well-known,

catering to the kosher.

 

Sweet tooth, inspiring bassoonist.

Note:

Today’s goal was to create poems using headlines only from today’s paper. I selected twenty headlines that seemed promising and played around with various combinations of them. In the end, I only needed six. Well, “needed” is strong.

 

Here is the prompt I was responding to:
