Words
I like to Speak
by Stormcat
vacillate,
lament, bombastic, recapitulate, ominous, scintillate, obsequious, pusillanimous,
paternal, subterfuge, intercalate, monogamy, obliterate, acquiesce, cantankerous,
. . . . .
These
are words that want
to
fill my mouth to capacity. Not because
they
are commonly useful or often relevant
but words
that
just
feel good echoing around in there.
Not
words that
you
wish to either spit out or swallow, rather
words
that
long
to be kept and savored, like a delicious morsel, allowed to bounce
around
for a while until they simply float away.
Words
that
scintillate
like a song,
defy
pusillanimous effort, test
the
conformation of environment, and challenge
the
capability of the voice. Bombastic words that dominate
ominous
status as the evolution of
individual
linguistic ontogeny recapitulates. Words
coupled to
monogamous
definition that acquiesce to
brevity,
obliterate descriptive phraseology,
intercalate volumes,
and vacillate on the edge of genius.
Rarities
that inform fierceness,
induce
cantankerous lament,
create
joyous celebration,
obstruct
retaliation,
defy
answer,
release
innocent relaxation,
justify
aggressive felicity,
encompass
all manner of situation and emotion.
These
are
the kind of words
I
like
to
speak . . .

i like to speak words of power as well...ha...great use of some creative and uncommon words in this as well...you put them together well...
ReplyDeleteas to the 'murder mystery' title of my piece...murder is a verb in the title...a play on words....sometimes in seeking to explain what we are seeing, we murder the mystery of it all...the woman speaking could have been explained away by just saying she was talking on one of those phones you stick in the ear...and then it would have murdered the mystery...ha...
Great poem. I like the words you list at the start and the way the words fill up the page. I like the reflection on meanings and fun combinations. And I like the repetition at the end. It is a fun read and would be a great poetry prompt... think of the words you like to speak and then use them in a poem. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteAnd you speak them to perfection!
ReplyDeletebrilliant!!! and exquisite! (one of the words i like to savor.)

There is power in words and selecting carefully is a poet's challenge ~ I find that saying them out loud when I write them is an effective gauge of their potency ~
