Excited Utterance

Folder: 
Erotica

I pronounce exclamations while

my dangling participle is trapped

between your parenthesis

interjections of Ooh! and Aah!

coordinate conjunctions

connecting excited emotions

that adjectives have a

hard time describing



I preposition myself to

recieve all of your

vigorous verbs

you charge imperative commands

that derive declarative remarks

in complex form



my grammar becomes ebonofied

with each compound phrase

I utter incomplete sentences

with your ink of life

and my pen to write

together we compose essays

succeeded by beautiful poems



we find love



we incite love



we recite love



we make love

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by a poet named Amberly. She wrote a poem entitled 'Prostitutin My Words' which I think is phenominal. Thank you Amberly for your inspiration.

Man, oh Man... This one is even tighter than Amberly's!!! I had to print this one hot off the PRESS!!! This one has to go in MY Poem book (of course with due credit given to you!) I thought I liked "You are my Poem" but this one has got that one beat... I hate to choose one work over another, but this time you have left me with no choice. Much respect. Due respect.
