Using big words is fun, <br />If you know what the hell, you are talking about. <br />I see a lot of poets, on this site, <br />Insert fifty cent words into their poems. <br />Just who the hell are you trying to impress? <br />Get yourself a dictionary, <br />And you will see, <br />That your words just don't belong. <br />The sentence structure is all wrong, <br />And it's because of your fifty cent word. <br />I am talking of poets who speak and write, <br />In English. <br />Not somebody from India, or the middle east, <br />Who doesn't speak English as a first language, <br />And they still make an effort to write correctly. <br />Do you think we are all mindless? <br />Do you think that big words will impress, <br />The minions on poemhunter? <br />Well, I guess you are right. <br />Big words, even used incorrectly, <br />And out of context will impress a lot of people. <br />Even when the author obviously, <br />Does not know what he is writing. <br /> <br /> <br />(7/22/11-Alton Texas)<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/using-big-words/
