Phew! What a jumble!
Blag it and mumble.
Don’t get me wrong, sir
I enjoy reading your stuff
The challenge of understanding.
But only if…
Your poetry’s not too ‘poncified’.
It’s bloody hard work though
Sometimes it’s like
I’m in training
For the World Scrabble Championships.
Which is really weird.
Because I don’t even
Play the game.
Dulwich Poet 24th June 2013
( I read a book of poetry ‘London Poems’ by James Russell Grant, and there were so many words that I had no idea what they meant throughout the book. The ones listed above, totally random, are just some of them. Part of the reason I often lack confidence in my writing, as I simply lack a decent vocabulary to do so.)
