Day 8 : Prompt: Think about the argot of a particular job or profession, and see how you can incorporate it into a metaphor that governs or drives your poem. This rather astonishing list of professional slang terms might help you get into the mood. Or, if you work a white-collar job, perhaps you can take inspiration from one of the business jargon phrases that seem to predominate in corporate environments (leveraging diverse synergies, anyone?)
The Linguistic Facilitator
I attempt to chronicle the prototype
Of ideal linguistic transference of erudition
Encompassing all the essential facets,
 |
| PC: Borrowed from the internet |
enrichment of vocabulary and insight into etymology
The contextual and allegorical elucidation
Comprising the semantics and the syntax too
The phonemes, phonics and Phonetics cannot be overlooked
The pedantics of language acquisition
The entire expanse of rhetorical devices,
The pattern of word recognition,
interpretation and analysis
The comprehensive
and the allegorical references
The concrete,
the abstract and
the
subliminal allusions too.
It is
indeed an onerous undertaking
And the humongous heuristic endeavour
Is going to
deplete me of my intellectual resources…
