The last word of each paragraph (in double quotes) is a Latin word and the first word or words (in single quotes) of the next paragraph is the meaning of the Latin word. The poem is incomplete and can be continued.......
Latin
is a language which I do not know.
Yet !
it thrives in my expressions apropos.
Where
words work out that is a word gym.
and
plagiarism is simply copying “verbatim.”
‘Word
by word,' I learn and explain
Isn't
this how all wordy nerds train ?
It's
all Greek. Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta.
and if
my grey cells light up, “mea culpa ?”
'At
fault,' I claim total responsibility.
"Ye
! woman," I say," Unleash your writing creativity,
poetry,
prose or limericks, all side by side,
and
self certified as being yours, “bonafide.”
'Genuine'
and real is indeed the need of the hour.
So, I
put on a thinking cap to enhance my word power.
I
shunned the cuts, pastes and wore a broad beam
and
told myself, " Start writing, “carpe diem.”
'Seizing
the day,' is a lesson I have learnt often.
Screen
and keys have taken over the paper and pen .
The
impetus is slowly gaining momentum.
Will I
now be able to resume longhand “ad infinitum ?”
