Melani Udaeta Poet Pantoum

Conversational Painting

‘Why can’t you say it in a different way?’
Your phrase is not me. It’s not who I am.
I don’t care if you don’t understand it,
an apology is not coming soon;

Your phrase is not me. It’s not who I am.
The honey you want’s not the buzz I give;
An apology is not coming soon;
Conversation is painting for a poet;

The honey you want’s not the buzz I give;
My voice my choice, it belongs to me;
Conversation is painting for a poet, 
we are eloquent by definition;

My voice my choice, it belongs to me;
I speak and write with flamboyant words, 
we are eloquent by definition;
Can you change your DNA’s make up? 

I speak and write with flamboyant words;
I don’t care if you don’t understand it,
can you change your DNA’s make up? 
Why can’t you say it in a different way?
