17/30 - National Poetry Month 2014

The poet taught
words,
    within words,
        within words,
and the language of commas and line breaks.

Wisdom from ancient,
     recent,
forgotten, and forboding culture.

The poet caused their collission.

She writes --
    boundaries, be damned.

He wiggles letters,
    juxtaposes phrasing,
guffaws at the sound.

The poet spoke
language
    with letters,
         within letters,
and free verse breaks silence,
    forever, and ever.

Challenge 2: February - A poem a Day #16

I have a note that reads,
yellow apron what!!
I don't know what it means
I assume it was Siri,
my phone's computer
interpreting something I said
into a language she understands
like when she says
Cheep-oat-lay instead of Chipotle
sometimes she says,
"I don't know what you mean by..."

Well, Siri
I don't know what you mean by
yellow apron what!!

That idea might be lost.

apple pie fraction calculator,
education, mediation,
