I Need A Dictionary Poem by Jonzo Bandwagoner

I Need A Dictionary

Rating: 5.0


Captivated, Elongated, Mitigated:
You're a lot of looming words,
I wish I understood.

Castellated, Estivated, Manhatten-ated,
I'm a bunch of bounding phrases,
I hope you travel through.

It's always easier to hide ourselves, behind big words or silence, than let pple right in. This one is my favorite too; it's accessible and truthful. Plus...I'm a fna of big vocab. Best of inspiration, Colette

this is my favorite of yours I think, so powerfully creative! ! Especially that first word...maybe just because that's the only one I know! ! -landrey
