Short Manner Of Speaking Poems

Hawaiians speak like 
Soft rain falling…Asians talk 
Like popcorn popping

Say nothing of note!

Rage is Like a Boiling Tea Kettle
Written: by Tom Wright
8-4-2016

When I allow others to press my button,
And trigger any anger that lies within.
They own me in a manner of speaking,
And I’m often left with hidden chagrin.

It happens whenever I see you
My heart takes a flight to the moon
Outside I pretend not to notice
But inside does my essence attune
To the slightest movement of fingers
To a twirl or a twist at your hair

To the minutest shift in a chair 
To your style in manner of speaking 
To your beautiful smile and face
And how my heart longs to be with you

       of the day, is our #1 priority

    at the heart of our mission
       the foundation stone of our culture          

     And you have my word on that
       so to speak

In a manner of speaking nonsense is the name
Of the wisdom you preach with thy clipped tongue
Your rusting roots where never planted, 
In the prophets philosophy  
As
Peace, Peace, 
Peace endlessly departs your lips
Yet it has never descended, 
Or embraced a soil
Embraced by wars dagger  
In a manner of speaking you’re not a man,
Lesser TO of a man, she whispered to your fist  
As her will scattered 
Never to reunite or reminisce 
The 4 letters of her once glorious
L
