Refrigerator magnet poetry, created with one of those starter sets which only includes a handful of words to mix and match. If you have any, let's read them! Here are a few of mine:

1)
Seeing him was
A slice of wild love
After dark;
Morning off and away
Like a lacy blossom.

2)
Blue, immense, slender day
Use summer as you will,
Shower songs leave secret tendrils.

3)
Dry cans go by
what is liquid
over glass tongues
yet, pronounced crackly,
bruised their sides.

4)
You say this minute
has the boquet smell
Of red dirt from pages past.

5)
Consume books
Like evening full
wind on skin
through avenues of sound.

Then, I sent the set to my daughter, so no more frig poetry.**BG**

Mine just says the number I'm supposed to call when I'm sick.

Mine were: "Bovine Flautulence Cause Global Warming",
and lots of Far Side/Peanuts music cartoons. Then I bought a new 'fridge and put them all away because I didn't want the "New" fridge cluttered up.

The "kids" are, after all, 22 and 16, so I am no longer obligated to put school art on the fridge. Oh yes, there was a "Hazel" cartoon of a cat entangled in a Christmas tree that said-----He got himself there, he can get himself out...........and another that said:

Why should he spend more time with his father? He already knows how to use the remote control.......

I'll go away now.........

My SO found a fridge magnet of a fat Polar Bear reclining in exactly the position I take up on the sofa to watch TV and just put it on the fridge and waited for me to notice. I hate smartasses...

The Three Stooges, and a newspaper clipping of Jay Hurley (a local character) dressed in 19th century attire with the caption, "Cranky replica adds authentic touch".

None of us around here have figured out yet if the caption refers to Jay, or to the steamboat in the background.

Mine has happy plastic letters in bright colors, Winnie the pooh, Curious George, and a supercilious cat. Now if I had any kids....

I got a magnetic poetry kit when I was in Chicago earlier this year. It's now on my filing cabinet in work 'cos our European fridges just aren't big enough. The guys in my office rearranged it while I was out one day, so now I have some lovely obscene quotations to read while I'm working.

king turtle and queen dinosaur
pink of fish swim as together
born green of the frog wing garden
try whisper and monkey moon where sail how
world silence ons fast the magic seas music boy wish mad happy
we little winter prince night who flower summers down laugh home
like white red pumpkin they barn spring water wild fly animal ghost
fed cat girl good apple monster different princess smart somethings
dream hot fun mirror blue kind mud sky mes corn is silly the of
because next special slow bird sun candyed women truth very dark dad
bring fat round yellow sad big pig dog phone snow book friend
went star hat mountain name sister balloon day owl light storm rain
show window ear hand warm many black new cloud peace noise bike
turn baby mom elephant ball snake family tree teacher that skin
live noon farm child man toy one time morning important bug
in joy butterfly town gentle quiet store feet dinner follow
remember tiger nest thought pool song birthday cow box went cool
run funny glow answer colour ran wonder throat stop easy
ate eat jump no bed all cane she there wind body castley
way dug talk lake chair understand end had imagine as give
walk it but want play leave an are he at read with her

This is what my kids have composed on the fridge.
