Some words I Never Put into a Poem
(but always wanted to)


Cuneiform is a way of writing
far before I’ve ever written
or you were here to read

Purlicue is that meaty section
between your thumb and fingers
where you might rest your pen
(if you even use such things)
or couch against your lip
when you get nervous

Mandelbrot is what infinity
might look like,
if it wasn’t so large.

A tarn is a small lake
reflecting the moon’s face
isolated by the mountains
more beautiful for being alone

and a crucible is a pot
so strong they use it to melt steel
(or an uncommonly awkward situation)
so I ask that you stay a while.

It took a while, but I'm now totally in love with billy's attitude.

@billy: Is "dickwad" just Amerikan or does it exist in Britland/Filipinoland as well?


And my favorite word is "you".

I'm a fan of the word The.

No. I couldn't post with only three characters. I needed at least five.

[shemthepenman]

To post less than 5 characters, write some arbitrary characters in white.

Or a secret message.

ps. this isn't just some random advice, it was in response to Lizzie's comment about how she couldn't post more than 5 characters, which she has subsequently edited leaving my comment hanging here like some sort of mad kitten that's also a box. a sort of half cat half box.

Now I know how you conduct your nefarious activities here.

[shemthepenman]

yep.

[ellajam]

yep.

Hi, Shem. It also works in your sig but you risk it showing up on some screens, I'm sure. I had a fairly nasty Leanne quote for a while, it made me feel better.
