Poems

Love Corpora

 

When we collect data about dear ones, we’re assembling guides to grasping their intent.

Beloveds’ meaning, purpose, aims are precious. So, we try to understand, in context,

Their actions to the least gradation. If not, we’re stymied by their “alien” lexes.

 

Attending to paramours’ words is vital for discerning behavioral trends, organizing means

To expediate their interests. Large sets of their expressions is considered demonstrative

Of their language, enables us to personalize, even recycle, the functions they assign.

 

Hence, the body of terms our treasured others use become tools for comprehending their

Perspectives, for inviting their interactions, maybe, for placing our lives somewhere in

Their hierarchy of values, for facilitating their yearning to likewise appreciate us.

 

 

 

 

 

Eloquence

 

When articulating with elements of fluency, even persuasiveness,

We ordinarily seem improved by linguistic knowledge, likewise,

Loftier to “average” goons lacking those philological prowesses.

 

Ostensibly, tucking hints of artistic expression amidst our lexicons

Makes us give the impression we’re enswathing outlooks in gilded

Wraps, in verbal quantities normally accessible only to authorities.

 

Note; once words pronk, i.e. stot, as exhibitions of proficiency, few

Passersby challenge their content. Articulacy oft empowers punters,

Sanctions all manner of irrationality since it scintillates in sunlight.

 

 

 

 

 

Conferring

 

Taking part in discussions, akin to sowing winter wheat, achieves

Higher interpersonal yields, prepares relationships for laborious

Tasks, elsewise optimizes mental health.

 

Deliberating, negotiating, advising brings about the sorts of ends

That save time and money, prevent conflict escalation.

These acts remain desirable by most folk.

 

See, consultations meant to exchange views ordinarily succeed

In involving parties, in adjusting outcomes to specific needs.

All & sundry fancy win-win undertakings.

 

 

 

 

 

Verbal Peculiarities

 

Word dragons live among us, flaming communal environments with

Verbal peculiarities. The inherent nature of their talk burns innocent

Attempts at integration among possible combatants.

 

The essence of those monsters’ words stirs malign sentiments where

Hope, maybe peace, could become the most distinctive feature amid

Conversationalists weighing reconciliation.

 

Especially terrifying is firedrakes’ voices tangling in ways hitherto

Only possible for children facile in scaling earthy drumlins, else in

Swimming depths thick with riptides.

 

No superfluity of syllables graces any contentious communication.

Likewise, when locked in on exclusive ends, stroppy characters cly

Any attention meant for accord.
