Florence Mcmillian Poet Narrative

Descriptionalist and Scribulator

I’m a descriptionalist and a scribulator
Rather than a writer and a poet
That’s how I really see myself
And I want others to know it

Instead of a story being written
I descriptionalize the actual event
Even the ones being told out loud
Are full of descriptionalistic intent

As a scribulator I begin to scribulate
When thoughts gather in my mind
It just so happens that most of them
Seem to often spin into a rhyme

The words are not actually written
They are spun like on a potter’s wheel
Then when I finish, I say ‘Well spun’
As it creates the shape of what I feel

The final spin of gathered thoughts
Sure help me to clearly understand
So naturally I get the strong urge
To share with my fellow man

Florence McMillian (Flo)

Tony Lane October 15, 2011 at 5:37 PM I have never been one for commentulaing on a descriptionalists work I would have to say that this one is truly crumulant. Tony Oh and I like the vase.
