 ...The new movement of multi - coulours  
    And linguistic young fighters 
    Of the Universe

    Of Deprived

I’m code-switching
On a stim 
Teeth, lips
Rubbing at the brim 
Austistic
Artistic
Linguistic
I’m standing on a whim
Rope in the wind
Punished 
By misunderstandings
Or landings
Failed 
While leveling the trim

evening perfume

a flower blossom primrose

memory of you

Note:
Many older Japanese haiku poets wrote haiku without verbs,adverbs,adjectives ,hence my 
title today.Of course they wrote in Japanese so such a theory do not always easily 
cross/transfer linguistic barriers....

Our linguistic limbs sulk as the
dreary day progresses.
It begs and aches for more pain
for it's grown accustomed.
The longing and desire that lingers
within the blood pulsating
As each day marches forth,
A feeling of hate submerges and
dominates the emotion sulking
back
Toward the dark core we now possess....

Hence we see.
Voir de lire.
What is the sky, blue, black?
I dream forecasts.
The dream of forecasts.
I breath intensely
We see the lord.
Standing in this white ribbon.
He swirls like an angel.
But we remember he is the Lord.
Bredrin' 2015.
I come from religious times.
Neuro-linguistic dizziness.
I breath chocolate paste.
Embace the lord....

Can you talk about good
without acknowledging evil

Could they ever
exist on their own

Can you go somewhere
without leaving someplace else

The answer
fairly shown

Simplistic by nature,
linguistic in form

Contrast
rules the day

Allowing for one
by embracing the other

Truth to each
conveys

Unity of African chiefdoms 
                                        and kingdoms - 
Empowering,
                   strengthening , 
                                     putting up africa. 
African linguistic,  
                            traditional diplomatic - 
Submission to traditional authorities.

moonlit night
sonata of neglected
love
hundred hues of color
arbitrary choice
of linguistic
relativity
orange merges into
indigo
our tears spurted out
like arterial blood
tantalising cobwebs on
the roof of the flood
tearing hearts fed on
love delivered
tangentially
polarisation of
imminent want
to unite again
in absolute
ecstasy

Please excuse my ignorance linguistic,
My words may carry hints of the mystique
In speech-making I am caught up a creek.
Best responses are generally bleak --
So, I employ the lyrics of music,
Which listeners accept as somewhat chic.
Making speeches are hard wages to eke
For success, I make bullet points unique
See how rapidly, or slowly, I speak.

i only
know of
one to ask

so don't
know if it's
true that and

so i'll
ask in
poetry if

you dare
say what i
write might be

thought
of or taken
as if it were a

poem 
but this
is more of

a linguistic
question only
asked because

someone
told me that
it was true so i

thought
of you Alkas
and so am asking

when you
speak Portuguese
can you use or not never

use a
double
negative?...

(If you Google English to Spanish.
Copy and paste. Hopefully this
poem will take on a different
linguistic shape from off the page.)


My muse

I use you

But need you

To breathe with kiss

This and these

That make poetry

And my heart beat


transform translate
translate transform


Mi musa

Te uso

Pero te necesito

Respirar con beso

Esto y estos

Que hacen poesia

Y mi corazón latía...

A conglomerate of words that reach in to wrench out the heart
the lust, desire, the pain.
Condensation as the water flows and the minds body transfers from one space to the next
Soup.
Soup it's called.
A linguistic battle of warriors across time and space.
Love and faith, a tumultuous gift, delicately dancing across in script.
I thank the -White Wolf - acknowledgment incomparable to the phrases within the realm
I am struck...

Belligerent bulldog blows up balloons, bulbous and blue.
Frantic frenzied flamingo flips for a flute and a flu.
Persnickety porcupine prances perilous with pooh,
Concerned calico cat coaxes a cardinal’s carnival coo.
Daredevil dolphin diligently designs dalmatian dog’s hairdo.
Serendipitous skunk sashays toward sticky sweet stew.
Lavishly laborious lion lunges into little linguistic loo.
Youngish yak yells and yips at yellow bellied you....

Surd and absurd are – at bottom – synonymous!
Absurd? 
Yes, of course.
So are canny and uncanny.
Sub- can mean high or (be)low 
Post- can mean Post- or Pre-!
Again, in Tamil, naatram once meant fragrance,
Now it's its opposite.

Antithetical meanings of primal words,
As noted by Freud,
And as endorsed by Bloom. 
Maybe a linguistic universal for Chomsky,
Freeplay for Derrida,
Language games for Lyotard,
And a mystery for us!

We are guided by words of wisdom,
Day by day,

Friends and neighbors cpmpliment us on what we wear,
Polite words of friendship.

You love to hear their salutations,
Guiding us wisely with kindness.

Words are our best friends,
Keep us from being lonely.

They are very healing and soothing,
Words are like a linguistic hug,.

You should always have a beautiful thought for friends,
What a blessing from God,

Poetic verses manifest,
for there is beauty unattained.

We yearn for distant, lofty skies;
for floating, contemplative clouds,
and souls that overflow the eyes.

Combustive, nameless hankerings
revitalize our sluggish hearts,
prolonging our linguistic cruise.

Forever, we anticipate
precise vocabulary hues.

All we possess is poetry
to hold on to our heavenly 
infatuation with the world,
for poetry has always been
the herald of eternity.

King Duncan wouldn't allow it
Chin sweat and air conditioning 
Sending me into a linguistic shaming spiral

Flavoursome mints and sparkling water
Won't fix this wet nightmare
Telling the steps to SHUT UP

Sock sniffer
Chemical bomb leather shoes
Armpits oceaning

Give me Nigeria 
Or the jungle
Where the birds don't sing

My wife has been reading The Return of the Native for ten years
But does owning an AK-47 count as knowledge?

To the bat cave...

Ministries common following's ford
as rambling messaging's spaced toward
linguistic parsonage accord ~
. . . a neither pace attempts the Lord!

A breech of favored in between
is not the true essayist dream,
identities foregoing ream
is but identical in its seam!

Occlusion as the outcome's scheme,
a floating chance of origin
has none, but nature's begging scene,
doubt casting's fate becomes adjourn!

That placate stifles truth's concern,
while tensions buckle with their yearn!...

Ashes of humanity
Scattered and lingered in hearts of purity
Hallowed and spirited within the psyche of infinity

Weaving with man's joy and sorrows
Entwined with lattices of honey yellows
Drifting in clouds of human form
Numeric and linguistic crypts of cuneiform
Endearing are thoughts and words, not jive
Sprinkled ashes etched on books of archive
Doors that opened to human interest
All come alive in ashes, blots and dearest
Your ash is the strength, honor of the fittest...
