This is all me, as verse allows, I’ve felt everything I’ve writ.
This I choose to filter my whole in the brevity of wit.
I am diligently present for words; what they mean & why.
Interpretation always has room & tone just cannot lie.
Cognates, calques & Janus words often nurture our confusion.
I learn how a word was built & rebuild them by conclusion.
Curiosity, must then be, parent to innovation.
Born of whimsy & clever clogs, clip-clops alliteration.
So this is me, the wordy nerd, who will tell you everything.
Words have weight & life needs ballast; so my phrasing’s made to wring.
