I've had a jonesing to write poetry and / or short stories using subject lines from spam emails for a long time. Today turned out to be the day I start making this dream a reality! So glad I'm getting on this now, as there are some very funny websites out there with spam headlines in mind: http://wiep.net/talk/other/viagra-headlines/, some cartoons inspired by same: http://www.spamusement.com/, and all around fun stuff to waste time looking at.
Right now I want the poems to be as sad as possible (considering they are spam subject lines, I doubt a truly somber mood will ever be achieved). Like missing a mediocre exgirlfriend, or being bummed out you didn't get invited to a party thrown by people you secretly don't like that much. Readers should be left with an emotional residue reminiscent of, say, their second year of middle school.
You're welcome.
