tired of being told how words are meant to read
fighting all the rules until every word is free
dangling upright proper nouns from opinion's cliff
wiping off the adjectives before they stain our lips
Each and every verb will peacefully stand still
all these laws of dictionary we words have had our fill
sick of rule by seperation a creation of the learned
our time has come for freedom a rising up of words
strip the titles from proper nouns
each word person place or thing
what difference is the adjective
all are meant to read
Having seen every verb
move fast or so slowly
hand in hand with adverb
the way it's meant to be
that is fine and all is well
words can stand that read
but if words want they slow it down
while catching up to speed
words can twist and bend and spin
straight through every single head
ringing in minds like brass bells
literary rule is dead
Thought provoking read Maria. A verbal uprising you might say. I especially like the profoundness of these two lines: but if words want they slow it down
while catching up to speed
and don't think I didn't notice the lack of punctuation! just another example of those words doing as they will! as they should...I enjoy the rebelliousness with still just a need to stand alone or without judgement yet leaving the fight as just a defense, if that makes sense...well done! ~JPP
