Description: this is totally fun for me, and I believe there's a made up word to boot! My poetic license is about to expire, so I went hog wild.
Ever see a word once, look it up, and all of a sudden you start seeing it everywhere? Voila!
Tale of a Recurring Word -------------------------------------------
Redux: revival of a suspected expired
Idea, germ, etcetera
Redux, redux of "redux",
"Redux Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter,
Synchrolexivoyance.
A parnoid determinist might say the
Word haunts his conscience.
Un philosophe Francais l'appelle peut-etre,
Deja mot conaissance.
A Jungian could ponder, "Who else is
Sharing this subterranean sentience?"
"Je ne sais quoi," what's it mean?
I don't know what an elusiveness
Words can have
'Til one slaps me in the face.
What an inspiring little poem! It's like a trip through the dictionary. Pick a page and write a poem using every word. Aside from rejoicing in a newfound word that you now see everywhere, I have no idea what any of it means, but it's a delight to read, nonetheless. The first time I read it, I sat down and just started writing words. I haven't done anything with them yet, but maybe after reading it the second time, I'll actually use them. Thanks. mae
Capricious is an awesome word-very useful! OK translation-"A french philosopher call it 'already known word" and "je ne sais quoi"is useful-it is translated in the next line. "I don't know what" it means a trait you can't quite put your finger on. Perhaps some kind of charisma. Cleo
Dude I love this! it's totally happy and has a bouncy feel to it. And i know how you feel! I can't remember what word it is now. . .oh wait. . . maybe i can. . .oh yes! capricious. . . i saw it everywhere!
But any way... overall it was funny. BUUT maybe you should but a translation at the bottom of the languages We dont speak. . .like the french and so on. But i reallllly liked your ending. slaps you in the face. . . that always made me giggle!
