Tribute To Dr. Glenn Swetman Poem by elysabeth faslund

Tribute To Dr. Glenn Swetman



'Every time I cried,
Then laughed at things
Thought inane...
Patiently, a gravelly voice

'Would assure me, the words
Were quite insane...
Then explain them semantically,
Linguistically emphatically...

'How all fell to Higher Order,
No need a comma, not a
Capital...all questions
Laid to rest...

'Leaving today,8-29-08,
With awaited Manuscript,
A broken heart, a plea 'let's
Do it all again'...

'Dr. Swetman, into this morning,
Worked, corrected, worked...
All I can do is leave...
My heart in Biloxi...

'Arguing thin-ice points of
Structure...knowing this
Manuscript is his Crowning
Achievement....'

It will be on my buy list. Loved: semantically, Linguistically emphatically... The tongue was working through those!
