Notes About The Poem

''Minced'' Words That Ramble

I

I write-
words    quavering with emotion-
my words speak thickly
fragments of my life

minced   words   that ramble

and I lispandslur
I croak and hesitate
and mitigate
words

oh this world is so shattering-beautiful

my pen
fragments of minced
words    that ramble
and jumbledthoughts come tumbling

I have a message-to embody in words
it's
a phrase
   a thought
     and
           an
             utterance    whispering

a mamby-pamby     poem
minced
words
that ramble    breathe    rupture

II

tumbling words
          from a word picking girl
                                    of promise
mincedwords
goody-good-good

                  words that splinter the soul
with pain and sorrow
minced words
                     in verse and rhyme

John Lawless June 27, 2016 at 8:35 AM Well done Constance!!!(eat your heart out E.E.). The line breaks and spacing, the elision of the words for effect, all worked brilliantly. Thanks for participating in the contest.
