RWP#101 Prompt using all these "P" words
STUTTERING
He was that unhappy stranger
grooking on some street in Brooklyn
stuttering
cheering
for the posthumous Dodgers
with some forgotten platitude
speaking without aims of words
unable to prevaricate prayers of the preacher
stuttering
speaking
his transformed theology
walking his lonely processional path
unable to procrastinate his endless effort
breathing the poets' polyglot poetry
stuttering
answering
lost lovers with charitable progressions
with their porous plaster
and bleeding words of pernicious pimps
unable to turn on and tune out passions
stuttering
trespassing
the stolen parallelogram poems of prayer
and empty plethora of unseen sight
withholding the lost prickle of judgement
blinded by speakable poets
stuttering
stuttering
stuttering
with the pppppppppppppp pea words.

Enjoyed this. Great use of the words.
This is a very moving poem, the most serious poem I've seen in response to the prompt. In my reading of it, this poem is not mocking at all -- it presents a clear-eyed view of a deranged man in the city. The poem makes clear how easily something that's funny to the "familiar" people we know can turn very serious when used to extreme by the "strange" people. Which "p" usage is poetry, which is the rant of a madman? Very effective poem, Wayne.
Yes I thought this poem was rather sad .With all the funding costs there is no care or help for the unfortunates like this stuttering poet.They just branded as losers
and everyone justs walks on by.
Hi Wayne,
Yes, a sad and confused person. I really like the line: "the stolen parallelogram poems of prayer".
The use of the p sounds and the repetition of stuttering really builds a sense of the explosive frustration of the character.
Interesting...The flow of words is very nice
Lots of hypnotic lines- including "speaking without aims of words" and "unable to turn on and tune out passions". Love your play on sound of the p words and play on the view of the "pea" words.
Provocative and poignant. I especially like how you set the stage with "cheering for the posthumous Dodgers."
Wayne this is a powerful piece, and a very imaginative one,the idea of p-words causing stuttering, and the person you describe. Your use of the word stuttering itself is ironic because it's not a p word and you use it repeatedly (a kind of verbal stuttering almost via the repetition) so that it really stands out. Stuttering also is a great metaphor for the idea of someone moving about in life but getting nowhere, repeating the same days over and over.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit
crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
