Contortion of a warped treain of thought,
vocabulary articulated with diction,
colloquial argot.
Lexicon of the abstract and abstruse,

Manipulating consciousness.
Vociferous articulating of intense emotion,

Hi Lou,
I like this one a lot.
Imo, if you could lose as many of the conjunctions as you can, perhaps replacing them with punctuation, this would really tighten things up, and help your little piece give that swift rap on readers' heads, heehee.
I would incluse one cuss, perhaps your favorite swear word, in the end lines as well: that would have great impact.
Jim
Thank you that's a great help
Love Lou
greetings
kept rereading to find what seemed missing. I think it may be in last stanza. With rest of poem portraying different sides maybe something like :
One swear word can say more
than one thousand words
and one word of beauty
more than a myriad curses
ever can
Imo this might be the balance that seemed lacking .....................stan PS almost forgot to say I think this one of your best I've read

Thank you. I thought that another stanza might be in order.
Love Lou

I find that few swear words every now and again, releave the pressure LOL !!!
Glad that you enjoyed this one.

Dear Lou,
We are like minded! I use the words "fuck" and "bitch" often, when I feel they are appropriate. Good work!

Sometimes the only thing that you can do is swear.
Much love Lou

Thanks
Love lou
Swear words are my favourites
but that doesn't make this a poem, it's a bit of a ramble really, isn't it?
Really ?
any chance of any constructive suggestions?
yes
if you take out the line breaks and read it you will find it is just prose. It needs a thorough re-write to actually encompass poetic values.

Thanks
