Poems

Love Corpora
When we collect data about dear ones, we’re assembling guides to grasping their intent.
Beloveds’ meaning, purpose, aims are precious. So, we try to understand, in context,
Their actions to the least gradation. If not, we’re stymied by their “alien” lexes.
Attending to paramours’ words is vital for discerning behavioral trends, organizing means
To expediate their interests. Large sets of their expressions is considered demonstrative
Of their language, enables us to personalize, even recycle, the functions they assign.
Hence, the body of terms our treasured others use become tools for comprehending their
Perspectives, for inviting their interactions, maybe, for placing our lives somewhere in
Their hierarchy of values, for facilitating their yearning to likewise appreciate us.
Eloquence
When articulating with elements of fluency, even persuasiveness,
We ordinarily seem improved by linguistic knowledge, likewise,
Loftier to “average” goons lacking those philological prowesses.
Ostensibly, tucking hints of artistic expression amidst our lexicons
Makes us give the impression we’re enswathing outlooks in gilded
Wraps, in verbal quantities normally accessible only to authorities.
Note; once words pronk, i.e. stot, as exhibitions of proficiency, few
Passersby challenge their content. Articulacy oft empowers punters,
Sanctions all manner of irrationality since it scintillates in sunlight.
Conferring
Taking part in discussions, akin to sowing winter wheat, achieves
Higher interpersonal yields, prepares relationships for laborious
Tasks, elsewise optimizes mental health.
Deliberating, negotiating, advising brings about the sorts of ends
That save time and money, prevent conflict escalation.
These acts remain desirable by most folk.
See, consultations meant to exchange views ordinarily succeed
In involving parties, in adjusting outcomes to specific needs.
All & sundry fancy win-win undertakings.
Verbal Peculiarities
Word dragons live among us, flaming communal environments with
Verbal peculiarities. The inherent nature of their talk burns innocent
Attempts at integration among possible combatants.
The essence of those monsters’ words stirs malign sentiments where
Hope, maybe peace, could become the most distinctive feature amid
Conversationalists weighing reconciliation.
Especially terrifying is firedrakes’ voices tangling in ways hitherto
Only possible for children facile in scaling earthy drumlins, else in
Swimming depths thick with riptides.
No superfluity of syllables graces any contentious communication.
Likewise, when locked in on exclusive ends, stroppy characters cly
Any attention meant for accord.
