A Nonsensical Poem Of Frankenwords
Shout Out To Words That May Or May Not Exist
This is my nonsensical attempt to bring a smile to your face
to mix a couple words and put a new one in its place
My neologism effort to make up words to see
if you can figure out the messages created here, by me
Frankenwords, they call them, bolting different words together
Making up new rhythms, like a surgical word tether
I chortle when I think about their flow, off of my tongue
My mimsy attitude when others throw their tudes, like dung
TFW (that feeling when) you're sleeping and receive a kopfkissen
And start to feel crunk, because you know what you've been missing
The legitness of the sigh, as you control the muppet crowds
And send the grinches all the message, that you are vocabulary proud

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

Kopfkissen was like kissing corpses, lol! I loved your poem!
My wife would love this, Kelli. She's always making up words that mean both nothing & everything. Kopfkissen & crunk are my favorites from up above. However, I discern a certain meaning between them of that dizzying, almost drunken feeling you get when you sense in that netherland between wakeness & slumberhaven that someone has just kissed you on the head, something you'd almost forgotten you were starving forfrom. Does that make any sense to you? Ah well, I guess it's just part of the hungry I never seem to sate.
“ My mimsy attitude when others throw their tudes, like dung”. 😂😂 Love it 🥰 Kelli
cool
play on words/play with words - mission accomplished - thanks for the smiles Kelli!
Can confirm, kopfkissen are the best. This was so cute and so well done! 😊
Very playful. And you succeeded in creating a smile😀. Well done!
Brill, I love "chortle" by the way! It's a word with lots of character 😁
Fantastic work
