Knowledge of this might not be public: Some Dialects are hyperbolic While speakers judge it not, feel it not, Quite sure hearers the raw message got In Igbo Language Dialects this clear Like a heaving chest or hands bare: In her North’s “My Mum is not alive” And Speaker means “Her mother is sick” But to Stranger “‘one you can’t revive; Date of her...

Igbo words for the feared mostly high tone Perfectly matching what rattles The Bone Her lexis for Death, Python, Snake - Fire And it’s like speaker screaming, pitch higher! So also Poison’s, Madness’ - ‘The Unpleasant’ Anger’s, Bullet’s - one can’t call The Pleasant A Language quite tonally consistent With ideas that The Pitch makes insistent… Still stops not here...

Igbo Sex Words I have observed Are High-Low Tone steady bearers: To ‘High-Low’ markedly reserved, Save in ears of tone-deaf hearers… All her words for Male Genital Picked by ears not from hospital And Females’ one’s ears digital; To Proof subject in Capital As though her sex words tactical Even word for Scrotal Hernia When pronounced and one’s ears are near: The word in...

To speeches Pauses lend grave weight: A passed paused Death Sentence, “Wait! Wait!” “You-are-already-dead-this-night” And The Black Hearer goes white! Always esteemed by oracles, In speeches welcomed obstacles; Important in a dreaded shrine, Her grandeur not failing to shine! Skeptics now add to her value, Lots conceding to her, no clue: “In-three-days-your-lifeless-body.” And the picture they start to study! Pauses help to stamp defiance To convey a self-reliance “Wonder-I-what-you-can-just...

I fully belong to Linguistics, Literature for the joy that sticks: The Sharp Poetry from its Drum Sticks Writings one does and notes time that ticks… Wholly I belong to Linguistics, Though it lacks flattering lipsticks, Not easy using its walking sticks: Where you don’t watch and Word itself picks! My Thesis on Pauseology, My newer interest Tonology And begging Dialectology; Minds have in these...

Life’s Linguistics Music is language That speaks To us all It asks And it tells Like human Bird calls Food is our greeter It says… Come on in! It gives Then it feeds With warm Welcome grins Art is the glue That says We’re all human It draws us All in While we’re all Bloomin’ By Bill MacEachern August 5, 2022...

I Language is the water of the universe: "I love u" is both true and untrue Just as water kills and saves, freezes and flows God speaks : "I LOVE" unfolding Creation We speak: "I LOVE u" and create "the other!" As with language and knowledge - "I know" is more true than "I know math or a language." II There are waves, but...

As you read this poem, I’m mentally undressing you. Word by word your protests drop to the floor. Syllable by syllable I pare you down to honest flesh. Utterance by utterance, your secrets are revealed Until you’re nude, standing before me Natural and unembellished, so you can truly appreciate The intense sincerity of my words. Then...

A missed word An error of syntax A slip in punctuation The truth is relative Your truth is not necessarily mine Truth told in grief Truth told in mockery Does not always remain The Truth Truth be told Your truth is not necessarily mine A breath of gossip An overheard sentence The snatched glimpse of a word Just remember this truth Your truth is not necessarily mine (Yes, I'm crap...

In order to form these words, you must start by being unsure. from comforting warmth, to a artic discomfort switching to fire and ice again. Temperature like a predator in the Sahara desert dusk. Sit on your porch at dusk, watch the clouds create their words. Be your linguistic barrier’s predator. Mentally conjunctions float unsurely from a mastermind. Look up again, wonder if...
