Out of the Meeth of Poets

if there are two poets talking
and out of the
mouth of one poet
there should be a word

we haven’t heard…

we could laugh…
O so heartily…

for if each poet has a mouth
and all mouths are speaking
could that be in a bunch of meeth
in which
words they are a’tweaking?…

‘cause Poets make up
new ways of looking at things
so why not new ways of
saying things
that really, really mean
more…

I thought of a word today…

quieify…

now think…O I see your cap on…
with the little beanie twirler
twirlering…

remember Seuss

quieify…
I can emphasize some quietude…
and softly pacify…
why O why
could I not then quieify…

then
another wordling comes to
mind [see I’m birthing words here]
but you will
chuckle at sunnily …
and I know that’s not a
real word ’cause my spell
checker puts that little
red linery under it
saying “hello…WRONG”

and my friend says:

“I cassent write like you so sunnily
for I am drearful and mostly donin
but I skippedly joyed at this wonderfilled
and lost my drearfullness in the laughingness”

and we laugh
O so heartfully

but isn’t sunnily a pretty word?
would you not like to have it heard
as one sunnily walks on by?
can’t you just see
a sunnily lit room?

And my friend sighs and shakes her head, and says:

“So gratefilled am I for all your ponderating
I readingly upped this into my formattingness
and now I’m hookered to your idiocyritnutiness
and you are sunnily in my dictionariall”

noddingly I, hailing her cry
“she’s got it, she’s got it, better than I!”

so know, that
I like ponderating too…
that pulls in a lot…
a little darker I suppose
as I ponderates all I got…

now and then I do a little
stompenplating
but then, most of us do…we
just don’t know what to call it….
but then again…we do…

‘course everyone knows
we can discombobulate a word
so very cleaveringly
and before we know it,
it is dictionaryized…

VERY Ogden Nash.... LOL... nice job, ladies! had me giggling

Here's a little taste of Ogden-
"Once there was an elephant
Who tried to use the telephant.
No, no! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone!
Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right!"

hehe.... you're in good company... he's always been a fave of mine... a top word coiner... this poem by you two gets a BRAVO! from me!  

you want to be a writer, don't know how or when, find a quiet place, use a humble pen-paul simon
