A Poem For Prolix Poem by RIC BASTASA

Tediously wordy.


the Latin prolixus
(extended, poured) ,
from liquere (to flow) ,

the source of words such as liquid,
liquor,
licorice.

Now do you see the connection - why consuming lots of Tanduay 65
make the teachers of Cancainap
prolix?

Let me try using the word,

No one has ever called her prolix.
At a seminar sponsored by the DECS,
Miss Manolita mumbled a few introductory words
and then sat in silence,
eyebrows arched,
arms folded,
for the remaining two loveless days.

She misses someone
No, not the prolix poet
But the sylvan lover.
