Oulipost 22–Inventory: Enchilada Trees

For this poem, I am going to have to send you over to Prezi to view it — apparently I can’t embed directly on a WordPress-hosted blog.

Here’s the link: Enchilada Trees

Pick the fruit to build your own sentences.

PROMPT

Inventory is a method of analysis and classification that consists of isolating and listing the vocabulary of a pre-existing work according to parts of speech. Choose a newspaper article or passage from a newspaper article and “inventory” the nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, articles, etc. Bonus points for creative presentation of your final lists.

NOTES

I admit to being boggled by this one. I went for creative presentation. If I were a programmer, I might be able to do something where you could pick words from a drop down list to build your own sentences. Or a flip book. Something with interchangeable word for the parts of speech. But that sort of idea would take me a week instead of a day. So I went with a Prezi.
