Poetcizing
Poeticizing
Tongue trawls lines
charily;
mouth centering
life saver
with cored
sibilance;
limns sweetness
and not; loves
what it sounds like.

smiles…for me it’s also important how a poem sounds…i usually read mine to myself (after having them read to me by the guy that lives inside my macbook cause his english is better than mine…ha) and if i like how they feel on the tongue, i’m good to go…smiles

composed on the correct implement, even – and sounding good, rolling from the tongue ~

I do love what your poem sounds like! Lovely sibilants and lilting alliteration.

Love the lifesavers– way to underline a point! I also love the sound of this, k. and the amazing amount of nourishment you managed to fit into such a small space, like a kitchen cabinet that has six month’s worth of food.

And, this sounds awesome.

paying attention to what a verse sounds like was a critical point in my development as a poet….

it is fun to read this and feel what my mouth does around the words even though I am not reading it aloud. very effective poeticizing. I’ve missed reading your work and will hopefully catch up soon.

Excellent little piece! I really need to try to twitterpate, or twitter poem, whatever it’s called. Does this make you a poeweet?

Ha! I am not very involved with Twitter, but maybe it’s fun and interesting. I just don’t know. I do think it’s good to practice being brief! (For me at least.) k.

My main thing on twitter is following literary jounals, editors and publishers. I have not attempted poetweet. I do beat in the short form though, so it could be worth a try.

Do it! k.
