Sometimes a word

Sometimes

Touching many

or touching none,

the joy it brings

just touching one –

with a torrent of words

cleverly writ,

from the coolest phrases

in ancient Sanskrit

or perhaps a scribe in

a guttural foreign word

is the sweetest thing

anybody ever heard

And the English language

with it’s redonkulous rules

where no matter how good you are

it still makes you a fool…

sometimes

  2. “And the English language with it’s redonkulous rules
    where no matter how good you are it still makes you a fool
    sometimes” – this gave me a hearty laugh (hahaπŸ˜…). I said to myself oh, this is so me and English language, the relationship we are in is right and wrong, incorrect and correct, smart and fool.πŸ˜‰
