Mine a Midden
an enorm
a nadir
mired rime
an ear in a din
all manor o media
earn an idea
demand a random dream
remand all remains
aimed on dread
nod amid men mediad
mine a midden
moan a modern drone
ordain odea
rend an arid redan
damn mad arms
adorn an ader
don an eon
end an era

There is something quite hypnotic about the words you chose and how you put them together. I liked this very much.
Thanks, Margo!
As someone who generally works in a much less experimental way, I’ve really enjoyed writing to surpass the constraints–to varying degrees of success, but always inspired by the challenge!
