Sometimes a word

/ Kait King

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

  15. “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 (haha😅). 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.😉
