Short Morpheme Poems

Yoruba proverb 
An old saying 
Words of the fathers of fathers 
Incentive of the wise spring of ancestral vales 
The word is just so original like a laconic phrase 
Expressing a basic truth 


It find lost words
What an helpful morpheme
An obscure saying, but
So rare in the mouth of the youths
For they should be acquainted to this colloquial, for that 
Old is coming for them soon....

They appear innocent enough
Those symbol sounds that every child
Memorizes before they know
What they mean or what they’re used for.
(A)(B) (C) (D) (E) (F) gee! What
A rhythmic, sonorous singsong;
But when their lettered chemistry
Is formulated into words
The combined sounds begin
A metamorphic change
Like the lovely word butterfly.
When it’s clearly spoken out loud
It conjures an image as real
As a butterfly on the wing....

The lack of a single-word inflammable
in our lanterns is what is killing me
 
this morpheme
                         A single workday for all
Inflammables is what God is doing tonight
 
This is just one of many adages
to have passed through the garments
 
Previously on this shriek they put
a peartree back together wrong
 
after its demise
                              Something
there was in the syphon
 
Poor tree could feel it in his bonsai...

the eloquence of -  
the song of the syllable
the tone, like solemn Gregorian chant, 
tympanically resonant to hear
beautiful as deep-red Tiffany glass
stoned echo of Morpheus 
a Morpheme of the god of dreams
the language is a beautiful thing
to hear - enunciated, emancipated,
softly muscular moves,
especially whispered into ear
