June 20, 2010 | 1:36 pmThe Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology is still in production. Selection, placement, layout and copyediting are taking longer than anticipated. Thank you for your patience. I hope to have the piece completed in July. For those who have emailed asking if they can be included, the May 7 deadline for submission of work stands. Those who met that deadline will be included. Please check the post on this site listing who I received submissions from by that date. If you submitted your work by the May 7 deadline in accordance with our guidelines and your name is not listed, send an email to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

Jargon it is…
SQL Triolet
Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve used some legal jargon in my “Ode to An Ill-Tempered Felon” limerick.
I wrote a haiku about education financing.
I wrote a love poem about a car.

I’ve written an acrostic using words from the discipline in which I was originally trained. It’s also#24 for NaPoWriMo – yes, I am a little behind.
Chemical Acrostic
Great prompt! But I didn’t use it.
http://slowreads.com/verseFaceRock.html
I have a whole list of jargon words that just didn’t work for this one. I guess someday there will be another poem that uses them.
I don’t usually write about my work, but this is all about my everyday (well, Monday through Friday, anyway).

this may not be “jargon” technically, but it’s about my job.
i’m LAME.

This was such a great prompt; it made me dig deep!
History’s Failing
I’ve been writing other poems in recent weeks, rather than responding to these prompts, but this week I’m back with a prompt response!

here’s mine, it’s about my daughter and her constant texting.

Here is one about tree structures… with both real and made up jargon:
Excerpt from the foliations of the hortolobe
Great idea! And a dangerous one for me. I love unusual words. Loving words is the definition of poet, I know, but it’s a challenge to use oddball ones in ways that enhance and don’t just confuse, you’re absolutely right. I learned that in college, when I happily assumed a whole workshop would know what silage is. If you haven’t happened to grow up around dairy cows, chopped corn in a silo isn’t an every day sort of idea.
I’m hoping this one makes more sense.
Here’s. some fun turning scientific classifications upside down. I made these up, but I tried to follow the Linnaean system.
Following the other theme of the week, it’s a sonnet.
here’s a (short!) poem filled with local place names and creatures–certainly jargon to the uninitiated!
“celebrate”

i have another one about where i’m from also filled with local place names that i will put up tomorrow
I wrote a bouts-rimés sonnet using the non-rhyming words listed in the post on sonnets, below. I also used jargon from sculpting, although I’m not a sculptor. Maybe now I’ll become one since I read up on sculpy words. Thanks, Tom!

On Baha’i Administration: A Sonnet of the Tongue-in-Cheek Variety
Looks like there is a spiritual jargon going on.
So, I went deep too.

This one is ABOUT jargon . . . . the kind I most want to avoid, but occasionally find my self using, when the darker side arises.

I’m glad it is over!

Check my JARGON POEM from yesterday. An INDUSTRIAL LOVE POEM
C’ya later, alligator, after a while Crocodile.
It was a pleasure and a great way to squeeze the brain by extruding words, syllables and rhymes. GOOD WORK Y’ALL!

Oh well, no comments.
No comments,
It’s okay, I’ll take my pen and will write poems for those who can’t hear, who can’t read, who can’t feel but who would understand how trapped souls feel beneath their epidermis. Inner feelings crafted for those with scholar ears is irrelevant for those who can express them with soil in their fingernails.
Poetry is a way to express what the soul feels beneath the layers of skin.
Intellect is beyond that. Words will conglomerate and collide against each other as the ‘poem’ evolves. After all, what we do, say and write will remain as a vestige of our humanity, as a human being. Human enough to be able to use our brain and strike the keys on the keyboard aided by a Microsoft program.
Thank God for Bill Gates!
AHAM BRAHMASMI.

Good Luck!
Life is so, very short!
I will read you on the other side.
