for stud, no harem

 

Eden to so chosen a map:

red phase, ocean as icy

path. No doom stabs,

tipped, farm-pour,

city can game deacon.

Note:

This was a lot of fun. Like a lot of these, this was really an exercise in free association. I basically just wrote out the consonants and then took the words that jumped out at me, then filled out with the words that clanged from the words that first jumped out. I guess the moral is there is not truly free association. The finished product quasi- makes sense, I think.

 

Here is the root sentence: “Duntsch is an impaired physician, a sociopath, and must be stopped from practicing medicine.” The title is a similar treatment given to “first, do no harm”, which is also the first line of the article.

 

Here is the prompt I was responding to:

 

Choose a sentence or short passage from your newspaper to complete a homoconsonantism. In this form, the sequence of consonants in a source text is kept, while all its vowels are replaced. For example:

ORIGINAL: To be or not to be: that is the question.

CONSONANTS ONLY: T b r n t t b t t s t h q s t n
FINAL PRODUCT: As burnt tibia: it heats the aqueous tone.
