TRUNK gave this round a strong comic streak, with mistakes, escape plans, awkward lifting, and a little frog justice all converging on the same word. Debbie gets the cleanest narrative arc, moving from HIRED to fired in three lines, while B-lu turns TRUNK into the final command in a mock-serious sentence of exile.
Several poems also used sound well: GRIME / CRUSH / DRUNK / TRUNK gives Mick’s sports piece a bruised, dismissive rhythm, while Lari leans into the familiar “trunk-or-treat” phrase for the punch line. Across the group, the stronger entries made TRUNK feel like a consequence or destination rather than simply the required final word.
Debbie Wilson 3/6
HIRED! Deliveries …
The WRONG TRUNK put in my van
Fired by Amazon
auntie jj 3/6
the CABLE was cinched
FIRST, free back legs- (those assholes!)
then, release TRUNK – (jerks!)
Robo 4/6
Freestyle
BLAME me for the sound
ROUND body lift in the TRUNK
With a winded GRUNT
B-lu 5/6
The CRIME against FROGS
will BRAND you TRULY wicked
pack your TRUNK and flee
Lari 3/6
The TEARY-eyed girl
Wanted to do a TRICK, but
But it was TRUNK-or-treat.
Mick 4/6
the GRIME the CRUSH left …
Rams played a DRUNK second half
pack the TRUNK, fly home
