I walked down the street
Following my feet
Down the road I went
My hair was flocculent (1)
I went in a café
That was on my way
I ordered some fries
And began to gormandise (2)
That didn’t scratch my itch
I dreamed of a whole flitch (3)
Almost swallowed my spoon
May have an entozoon (4)
Then I wandered home
My jacket very roan (5)
I didn’t get too far
Felt I had a fistula (6)
I looked towards the sun
Shining like molybdenum (7)
Not sure where I should be
Like my mind is a heptarchy (8)
——–
When you write a poem or verse try to use your own voice
Speak as you speak in general speech that’s always the best choice
Using long words to sound very smart can have a lot of appeal
But, like a cow on a skateboard, it will look cool, but it won’t look real
Meanings:
(1) like tufts of wool
(2) eat fast or like a glutton
(3) side of bacon
(4) internal parasite
(5) (of horses) a coat where the main colour is thickly mixed with another
(6) pipe like ulcer
(7) silver white metallic element
(8) ruled by seven
