I still have a Blog!

You guys, I still have a blog!
Which sits here, dormant, like a piece of white paper that, for some reason, is growing mold.
BUT
Poetry Month will soon be upon us and Hightouch and myself made a somewhat informal pact to revive our Poem A Day project during Poetry Month, which is April.
So, I decided I would write a poem a day but BY HAND. That's right. Like, in a notebook and shit.
With that in mind, I decided having a daily writing project (a la Hightouch) is a good idea. I have been Facebooked into brevity, but, my dear readers, I have more to say.
Yes, I will not be contained in a mere Status Update.
No, my words will be many and my sentences will be convoluted.
I HAVE ALL THE BEST WORDS.

and out

These Are a Few of My Favorite Words

Last night, I made the mistake of saying that "bi-otch" was one of my favorite words (which it is!! I swear!!), but then I couldn't think of any long, beautiful words that are also my favorites, so I was left with that. But now that I've had time to think about it, here's my list, in no particular order:
  1. Omphaloskepsis: navel gazing
  2. Canticle: it means "I'm a pretty word!" No, it means hymn, but to me it also suggests candle light
  3. Tangential: divergent
  4. Jeeves (as in "I fancy a martini, Jeeves.")
  5. Like ( I like, like you, you know? or He's, like, like a girl.)
  6. Flibbertigibbet: whimsical person
  7. Phoneme: a sound, uttered
  8. Glossolalia: speaking in tongues
  9. Synesthesia: crossing of senses
  10. Sesquipedalian: polysyllabic (I used this in a poem once and it drove my teacher crazy!!)
What, dear readers, are your favorite words?
