beached words: silver grain or threaded weed, fishy skeletons of age-old rules, evolution’s suck and stench that’s English frisbee words, handled with a strong wrist flat and placid, good for skimming. silver flick and thrumming rings that’s English pop-up shop words, noisy arcade or neon words, big-headed pushy words, elbowing to the front of the bus queue that’s English shape-shifting words, knitted together rugby-sock marketing words lazy, slouchable words, sitting in a bean bag that’s English stumpy-tailed bush words, lurking jungle-smart; hunting, hiding, camouflaged words, shadow's friends. that's English backyard words for DIY lovers letters (beech or gloss-white) in a bag... sheer finger-shredding arsery words that’s English

thanks K. I couldn’t seem to draw any conclusions. LOL. Hence there’s no stanza about concluding words. 😉

Thanks Ulle. Our words are a rag-tag mob. What’s Swedish like? Does it obey its own rules?

Swedish is deemed to be one of the most difficult languages to learn. There are rules but there are more exemptions to consider. On the other hand it’s melodic when spoken.

Thanks Misky. I had to “conversate” with a good friend at some length about this poem before it arrived in this form. I thought I was going to bed poemless… not a state I enjoy.

Heck when this month ends I might scale back a bit. I’m doing NaPoWriMo and a found poem challenge using the book Jaws as source text. The found poems are on Tumblr.

Tumblr is more like Instagram. The organiser of the challenge chose Tumblr. I’m not sure if you can access this without an account but try and see. https://miskyb.tumblr.com/post/682213977130975232/day-22-is-this-life

Ha ha! English is a bastard language (not an insult, just true!) Full or “arsery”! Really enjoyed all the personification, especially the frisbee words and stumpy-tailed bush words 🙂
