The Surrealists developed the exquisite corpse, starting with a group of writers. They sat in a group and wrote down a word or a phrase of words, covering all of the words except the last one they wrote. The next writer would start a phrase with the previous writer's word and so on. By the end, the writers had developed a poem. Drawers and painters soon caught onto this exquisite corpse and did paintings this way.
It really only works with a group of people, but I did all of these alone(mainly because none of my family was interested in it--figures...)
--I love words can hurt me alot of things are beautiful woman are strong winds can blow me off my feet smell--
--Christmas trees are in a forest of pineapples and cottage cheese quesadillas in a restaurant host a party all night falls a season--
--Peppermint patties of beef sandwiches of peanut butter and jelly in my belly of the whale is huge house we live in love--
--Youthful looks are deceiving devils are around us together we love and peace heals wounds are deep cuts in line--
--Ready set go to church meets Sunday drives me insane asylum for crazy people walk fast break time to go--
--lock and load 'em up is high on drugs are bad men kill a mockingbird caws are loud music is beautiful day--
--play games of love and war kills innocent people fill the earth is a planet revolves around the sun shines brightly--
--It's never too late night falls of water is necessary evil abounds--
--She wonders of the world peace prize cup of gold glitters and sparkles are scintillating diamonds are forever love is highly over-rated--
