did he do it,did he do it
Judy did,Judy did

The song thrush shouts

to love and to cherish
You
to entangle myself 
in your phonetic mindset
is to relinquish the ever lopsided 
concealment 
which now subsides
within my soul...

Paronomasia

Rhetoric usage—
A pun, a true play on words!
Shades of confusion . . . 
	Ditto sounds, other meanings . . . 
Phonetic pun poetic!

Love to play with word
where the the therapist
becomes the rapist
love evolves love
me squared becomes a meme
Chagrined by a silent e
using silent phonetic letters
the gnome needs to know
without an a aplomb
remains the sane...

Frigid hard worked
Hands
Shoulders
Goose pimpled cold
Give me texture

Steely seldom blinked
Poker eyes
Wrinkled straight mouth
Smile
Give me chills

Voiceless response
Touch
Less embrace
Romantic impressionism
Give me love...

Some girls have no need for a bra
And dread being seen in the raw
But some boys don't care
If bras conceal air
Providing girls don't tell their ma

Not many folk know that the Bronx
Is phonetic spelling of "branks"
It keeps her trap shut
No and if or but
Female voices just become honks...

Spandex thighs
Spiralized my eyes
Hyper flex her wonders
Set my helix spinning

Genetic refrain
DNA slain phonetic
Double down Maxwell magnetic
Electric blues make life too hectic

Two alarm scribe
Workout overtime perfection
Repetition fired sugar glider
Run your ladder up beside her...

A brain teasing, truly tiring,
firing neurons noetic.
A phonetic, pleasing puzzle?
Nah, sick muzzle poetic.

what is what is not is what is too
there is no separation from the One came two
like Hu am i and i am Hu
both imperative and interrogative from the One came two
it is based upon what's known to be true
unity in diversity from the One came two



note: Hu is a phonetic spelling of an arabic word that refers to one of the divine 
names of the Creator...

Lick Your Lips - Limerick

An old man chronologically aging                        
Ate foods quite gastronomically raging                  
He digested word soups                                       
With phonetic sound groups                                 
Which left him alphabetically phrasing

“although the word per say is not the thing
dwelling upon its essence, gives us wings”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

English, complicated enough, as formulated 
UK versus American rules have us agitated
Is it color or colour, flavor or flavour
Personally, the British origin I favour!

Yet if surprise has a hissing ring to it
Surprize the phonetic sound correct
Rising up to the truth, we are rizing yet again
Read then the essence, with rules to rest lain!
