In Kozlika, celebrating his fifty years and those of a OULIPO game constraints. Here are 10 stanzas of five lines, beginning with the letters O, U, L, I, P and ends with O.
And you wanted kittens?
To greet Kozlika
Obedience voluntary or
ukase friendly
Literature mathematician
ulterior or wobbly
pleading?
Forget the definitions!
A poem never abolish chance
emotions
what's invent
What will by the pen or stylus
Now my friend Kozlika
Uniting vows
The same jubilees calling the same baraka
calls in this curious series
to lay solo
We will count fifty
A bunch of constraints
Rhyme limping
Inviting the sacrosanct
pious final O
addicts as much as we all are! Unique
worshipers traps almost twisted
Minions! Beasts are idolaters
quite distraught
pale without our written brilliantly
Orphans, all of Perec and Queneau
Usurers their fancy
dropped as sparrows
Unable amnesia
parody placebo
We open nevertheless A friend
bank holiday here
fifty downwind
Indulgent to rain
Peaceful tempo
Oasis devoted to friendship
Urbanity declined as agape
home we retypes Inevitably
is still under construction
Why worry about a lament?
warping deep linking
Ultra sensitive worth
friends dropped anchor on the shoals of its windows
Ilienne
Prodigal's allegretto
Oh! you understand how much I love
A friend came so long
the evil that spreads its games
insolently absurd
To honor the OULIPO
