@maekitso read that @gingatao
is not fond of the given word ’slam’,
so in keeping with all of the tension about
I thought maybe I’d give you a slam in the French.
I rubbed the dub dub dub dot then
babelfished yahoo dot com,
where slamming the English into the French,
revealed a claquement seeking the cash for applause!
On this matter, I may seek a comment from Laws,
though I am more inclined to call @TomYHowe
and offer up slam for his mighty Hai tree.
The word has its place
and the place / has its word
and poetry cosplay is not so absurd
~~~
With a cheeky monkey grin
shadows threw through unshaven shadows.
Hail the size of basmati rice
slamming harsh into
the first fists of jasmine.
What will remain
of their applause tomorrow
as you sniff
through their pockets,
decayed?

A poetic and brutal slam dunk this is, Brad!

Lovely, Brad. And isn’t your wife’s name Jasmine, if I am remembering correctly? So doubly clever.

claquement has such a full timpani of sound, what a cool word

I thinbk this part is great
“slamming harsh into
the first fists of jasmine.
What will remain
of their applause tomorrow
as you sniff”
Excelent poetry man, what an inspiration you must have recieved then, also the very ending is a perfect continuation of that part, a really good one.
Thanks

Very clever – at least all this twitter and bloggy tension is creating some poetry – if this ‘reading’ is correct – ha,ha! and claquement is a very fine word indeed. Good onya mate.

Yes! This is what I like to see! Nothing can escape poetry!
