Diction and syntax
syntax and diction
may as well
be science-fiction
searching for words
which have better meaning
poking and prodding
gleaning and screening,
and how should I arrange that phrase?
Format that phrase, how?
Ins and outs,
ups and downs,
this will NOT break me
I vow!
Opting for this,
vying for that,
sounding as silly as
the Cat in the...

has caught you unaware...

A momentary contradiction...

your judgement is impaired...

Hear Me, O Muse, no moos or cluckings, muckings or horns of fog

Do sound the clamoring claxons of the bardics that be written by William McGonagal o’ the Bog,

That Laird of Lamentations Disastrous, that Scot Wha’ Hey Nonny Nonny,

Laureate of the quite awful woeful grueful...

To
say
thank you,
just four words
difficult to say-
but an imperative to pray....

Moonlit sandbars
Warm summer’s night
Slow swirling stars
A waltz with delight
Romance is soaring 
In heavenly flight
Just words on a page
Hoping they might
Make you feel as I do
When I’m holding you tight...

Things slip away.
  Obeying laws of
  cause and affectation,
  diction pictures words
    as sounds.

Hounds bay at lunatics.
  Sticks and bones
  fillet my stones.
    Millet and rye
    make me cry.

Ground beneath my...

I've had enough of the usless drivel, hypersenitivity and endless snivels
We're more fulfilled I hear so often, yet the fruit on show to me seems rotten!
A girl of 9 cut down by a gun, floods of drugs; engineered and spun..'
Borderless war, we're doing well.' No...

In lands beyond de rising sun
where flies de amber dragon queen
there are places that we have been
an' dreams are only just begun.

'Tis 'er an' I, ya see.

We chased de faeries neath de moon
an' listened to de flowing streams
just 'er an' me in dragon's dreams

The Diction I Use

It’s a word like no other.
A word to show emotion.
To insult the person you scorn.
To embrace a deceitful nature.
The wretched word.
Sly.  

It’s a word like no other.
A monster in size.
A ghost following you.
Watching over you.
It’s bigger than you.
The intense word.
Towering.

It’s a...

I
Your writing takes me higher, to a brighter day
Response: Your words, too, doth reader repay
II
Sad and poignant, yet depression held at bay
In good and bad times, you display a mainstay

Mangled words and arcane diction,

Artifacts: predilections, for attention and prediction....

I
Better not blow away the ordinary
Often ordinary turns extraordinary
How, you may query
I'll answer, if u tarry

II
There is order in the ordinary 
In the hasty humdrum! It's extraordinary
Humdrum, ordinal, cardinal (numbers?)
Answers, answers, before s/he slumbers

III
Humdrum? Can't just pass concepts by
My drum won't hum, I do (Yes,...
