The Assembled Poems are a creative writing practice based around the line-by-line construction of poems using found-text from twitter. Relying heavily on a set of custom filtering and sorting tools large volumes of tweets are parsed, scanned, and then manually assembled into poems. Some samples:



####Of Men And Insecurities

I once cut a fly in half with scissors
It looked like an accident
But it’s a horrible Idea
it’s so hard not to cry right now
it’s like a part of my heart is gone


This is how my week goes:
I envy a lot of people
I want to forget you
i hope i dont throw up
Then I love you
That’s how it been lately


this is quite the dilemma
But I wanna be alive.
I wanna live right
Without an ounce of selfishness
Just sitting in the dark
of my bones and
The stone that the builder refuse,
The willingness to grow and change
Too grown for my age


You have been my dream
of being bored,
of our beings;
Of you and me.


you deserve the best
the sound of the waves collide
the sweetness of your denial.


Is there really no escape?
like a river to the red sea
Or a time machine
Or a teen suicide


That is the most ridiculous thing
That’s What Love Is All About
The future promises nothing

You’re a bad influence on me with the ladies
You’re a big girl & its your world
You’re a bottle nosed dolphin

you’re all deluded imbeciles who follow the word of some old peasant
you’re all fucked and overrated, i think I’m gonna be sick and its your fault
you’re all so annoying damn
you’re all ugly anyway.
you’re already forgotten.

you’re always on my mind.. why?
you’re always trying to keep it real
you’re an expert at making me feel like shit
you’re both my umbrella and the rain
you’re braver than you think you are.

you’re cool man the past couple weeks have been fun
you’re cute maybe you should push me against the wall and kiss me a lot and touch my butt some too

you’re doing the right thing lol
you’re doing this to me again.

you’re gonna hear me ROAAAAAAAAAAR
you’re gonna hear me roar oh oh oh oh

you’re honestly so horrible to me why do I speak to you
you’re honestly so like huggable and perfect. like idek😍💁
you’re impossible to communicate with
you’re in a much better place though
you’re invited to watch me eat
you’re just a lil bit out of my limit

you’re just making me hate you
you’re just making the whole thing worse by ignoring me

you’re just so sweet to forget honey.

you’re killing me bit by bit inside
you’re killing me more and more every day
you’re killing me with that one look.
you’re kind of beautiful

you’re like an emotional bull in a china shop man, metaphorically knockin over vases and shit

you’re lookin’ so good in what’s left of those blue jeans
you’re making everything worse
you’re making this more and more difficult

you’re my wonderwaaallll
you’re my wonderwalllllllllll

you’re no different
you’re not a saint
you’re not what I want anymore.
you’re nothing but a myth
you’re nothing but a pretty face

you’re perfect and I envy you
you’re pissed aren’t you?
you’re probably the best creeper i know

you’re relevant to me.
you’re so alive, you can feel it
you’re so delusional I can’t stand it
you’re so fucking weird

you’re such a day maker ☺
you’re such a freak, I like it
you’re such a weirdo

you’re the life of the partyyy 🎶😌
you’re the reason for natural disasters
you’re the reason i’m in this world

you’re understanding.
you’re welcome for starting that .

you’re what I want but not what I need
you’re what i want.



####Aries Are The Type To Stay By Your Side Through The Toughest Of Times When Everybody Else Has Walked Away

How could I forget Berlin?

i would just stand there
In the middle of the road
In the sky of love
With no more words to say
just a part of your story ♥

then you flew out of my life
and I ran away,
and I knew that it was real
but i don’t want you to.

I wonder if I was wrong
Or if I should go back to how I was

If not, then never again.

Why are the corners so deep
Why are decisions so hard to make?

I just landed in Montreal
into a strange town
In a strange place
held, and there you were
And there you will always be


————


I’ll just stop and say:

You can take my life
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am

and I will find you, and I will reach you

I want to be an example of love
To be mistaken
To be honest
to be just like you.

take a deep breath and go slowly
