                < a contexture of somniloquists >
               
                     living advertisements
                     most of us
                     members since birth
                     asleep
                     weaving our words 
                     scuffed, hand-me-down, 
                     ground smooth of meaning 
                     they slip out easily
                     without a catch
                     asleep
                     we cannot listen
                     only mouth our words
                     adorned in cheap enamel
                     its bright colors 
                     intended to distract
               
                            - - -



Distracting contextures are both eagerly awaited and encouraged.

i was once attacked
by a vampire
whilst reciting
the lord's prayer
it, my wife
woke up
with a black eye.

[Leanne]

Find me some buzzwords
(ooh, like buzzword)

-- synergise them --

now:

be proactive

and find me some sheep
who like to get answers
they already have

ASAP

• Individually tailor mission statements (the emperor is naked)
  
• Identify core values (what's yours is mine)
  
• Always work toward the end (build your assets)
  

Implement all of the above

It’s infectious,
this catchphrase business

we can talk for days
and say nothing at all

[rayheinrich]

Your writing synergises my bits!




     this gun is harmless
     but it's bullet isn't
     
     it's not the rain
     it's the drops
     
     while i am silent
     my words have hopes

"Bullets don't kill people,
poets with bullets kill people!"


The following excerpt is from "Catch Phrase-Living"©2011

TIP ONE
The Tao of Catch-Phrasing
1. Swallow catch-phrase whole.
2. Digest, but do not examine.
3. Repeat ad nausea regardless of context or situation.
4. Smile Cheshire Cat smile, just as if you had a brain.
5. Feel smug and self-satisfied.
6. Search ubiquitous media for new catch-phrase.
7. Lather-rinse-repeat!

TIP TWO: Erros in Catch-Phrasing

The man repeated the catch phrase, but it failed to work.

Catch-phrase: If you repeat something often enough and long enough it will become true.

Error: He left out "For you!"

Oops: And not that I don't like the nail clipper, but the image for this poem
was supposed to be: "Brown and Red" by Mark Rothko - 1962
Have corrected, see above.

[font=Courier New][size=1]
Yes: top-notch use of space coupled with multiple fonts!

And:

"If you repeat something often enough and long enough it will become true for you."

I'd add:
"If you repeat something often enough and long enough it will become true for you,
but if you can get it on TV just once, it will become true for everyone."


"Bullets don't kill people,
poets with villanelles kill people"

[Leanne]

Well, this is how the story goes:
A poem walked into a bar
You’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose

It breasted up; the patrons froze
(It may have left the door ajar)
Well, this is how the story goes

From out its sleeve, it pulled a rose
and said “I’ll have a pinot noir” –
you’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose

The barman said, “We don’t take those.
Four dollars, mate, or out you are.”
Well, this is how the story goes.

The poem, threatened by the pros
Pulled from that sleeve a Howitzer
(you’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose)

The pen is mighty, but this shows
Artillery is best by far
Well, this is how the story goes
You’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose

[Erthona]

Yes, I'd go along with that.


"Bullets don't kill people,
poets with villanelles kill people"

Not only is that true, it is also very funny
