Collocation And Intonation (Popular Poetry) Poem by Abdul Wahab

Imperialist hangover…

Father says
Who knows English
Is the best

I am fluent in English
But intonation is rubbish
So I leave the job
Of awkward commentary

I start to write
Though grammar is correct
Collocation comes in my way
I stop altogether composing
Awful documentary

Collocation and intonation
I send them both
To the burning station
When I become a poet

Coining of new epithets

Overused epithets
The wrinkle face
Cliché phrases
Wife of an old age

Coinage of new verbiage
The kiss of a teen age
Overflowing climax
Decorating the body
People say, wow! What poetry!
