Alphabet Anarchy

The letters are running amok

no chance they will show up dumbstruck

they've started assembling

across every page

Helvetica wisecracks

and protests of rage

they're laying out tall tales

and half-truths of news

seems no one's been minding

their Ps or their Qs

[Alfred Kukitz]

You have to let me sit inside your mind. I just want to laugh, enjoy and read them all.

[Rita L. Sev]

Oh, I think it is too easy to get lost inside my mind, Alfred! Always glad to give a laugh - Thank you!

wonderful piece

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Zahra!

You should have written this in red ink. :) Just joking, this was fun Rita once again from your pen, no matter what color the ink is. I enjoyed this one today.

[Rita L. Sev]

;) I was just talking about the meaning of writing in red ink today... I suppose this piece does qualify! Thanks, Will!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you have to be a great teacher...your personality shines in your words...
love the chaos in this poem, and the tongue in cheek humor expressed...
let the words run rampant over the page...writing is rage, it is tall tales, it is youth, it is age.

those P's and Q's sooner or later will get back in line.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Thank you, Jacob - I can only aver that my students think I am "quirky" (can't imagine why...) ;) And yes, there's nothing wrong with a bit of vocabularic chaos from time to time...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

damn i love this...had to come back and read it again....

such a clever concept.

[Lyn Anderson]

I love this one. I would have loved having a teacher like you. I hope your students appreciate you.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Thank you, KL - I'm not sure what they think, other than the fact that I am a little crazy. :)

[Rocans]

lol, this was good Rita. I really enjoyed this. The rhymes were expertly done in my opinion. Your poems always raise my spirits, this was no different. Good write, thanks for sharing this witty piece. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Rocans! Here's to raised spirits! :)

[B-poet]

Loved the rhyme scheme of this clever write. Great work Rita. A remarkable poem. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, BP!

Words have power but when they run amok all bets are off. A thoroughly enjoyable poem from you Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Words have more power than their users realize... Thanks, Blue.

[Sheila Kline]

Oh I love the playfulness of it Rita!! Yep, they definitely aren't minding their Ps or their Qs -no R & R either -they're too busy creating pandemonium!

[Rita L. Sev]

Absolutely! Thank you so much, Sheila!

[Sami Khalil]

I totally agree. So much propaganda and half truths that fills the airwaves and other waves that the truth is lost. Only the wise and the informed can see through the mess. Excellent Rita and so funny in some ways...:)...............

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Sami! It's becoming harder and harder to be wise and informed...

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:)........
