Deviation

 

 

Deviant

 

I’m a deviant clause

No time to pause

I’m a hesitant invective

No place to inject this

I’m a repetitive boar

See them head for the door

You’re an elegant suffix

Without need of a prefix

You’re grammatically correct                    

Syntactically sound

I’m a world of vernacular

A language of difference

No place for resistance

I’m a vowel, a consonant

You’re a sentence

A paragraph

I’m a bullet point

Bullet point

Sketched-out plan

You’re a dissertation

An argument

Sound as a drum

Peer reviewed

And respected

And here I am

I’m a deviant clause

A pause in invective

A prefix to ever

Never, never

Hello Jeff,

You are not a pedant..you are RIGHT...error and too late to amend! Bore indeed...where would we be without feedback, poorer for it. Thanks.

Happy penning Jeff

Melissa,

Great sharing, thanks! Pleased the emotion hit home and that you enjoyed the flow. It was a moment when I felt it needed to be said. The relief!
What a wonderful community here me thinks!

Take care,
Moira

Hi Moira, like this as well, just one thing, is it boar or bore? Could have a major impact on the content, sorry to be pedantic!
