Periphrastic

The writing of a poem,
that is to say
the combining of words
is more difficult than it might seem
especially when it comes to the
right inflection…

Actually, it’s about word choice;
yeah, that’s the ticket,
forget all that stuff I said before.

OK well more to the point,
it’s about being in the right mood,
‘cause you cannot make word pictures
if you’re all grumpy…

Mayhaps it’s the propensity
for inflection and verbosity
the celebration of expressionistic
synergism, the opportunity of…
What the hell was I talking about?

On the other hand,
maybe this just isn’t the day
to figure this shit out…
