A Moment of Reprieve

it seemed
his pretentious gibberish
would never end
and then 
out of nowhere
emerged
the most blessed
awkward
silence

It is such a reverse oxymoronic epigram to me, in my mind's eye right now. Well written, and pretentious gibberish is delightful. One word we hear, but many do not know what it means. The other we do not ever hear any more. I am going to write a poem using Gibberish. Thank you, Line.

To me anything said in a pretentious manner, is utter gibberish and would be best left unsaid. Looking forward to reading your poem with the word gibberish.
