In an ongoing series, the editors, former contributors, and readers of Eclectica have been invited to write a poem containing four pre-chosen words. The words for this issue are albeit, machine, castigate and busty.
If you would like to participate in the next special poetry assignment, the new words are sear, ribald, albino, and freakout.

I cannot explain why I find the need
to castigate the valid self
and transmute my noise to fit multiple situations
Barbara DeFranceschi
I would never imagine an apple
to possess an oval busty bosom
Gloria D. Gonsalves
