Don't Use Big Words!
Next time, in promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations.
Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity, without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity ventriloquial verbosity, and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, prurient jocosity, and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or apparent!!
In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly, truthfully, purely. Keep from slang; don't put on airs; say what you mean; mean what you say. And, don't use big words!"
I resently went to a small business conference, This was the first handout they shared with us. It is meant for businesses, as you say poetry is an entirely different realm. The poet has liscense to use "jabborwocky" if they choose. LOL I am a partner in a touring company of actresses. I am gald I had that informatioin when I created my website. If you care to take a gander. motherrapper.tripod.com Very nice conversing with you. It is a challenge to be here at AO sometimes, we all can use a little help in our writing. I have never published a book and have over 2,500 poem in my collection, over 1,000 here! LOL Too busy writing to publish!
We will talk again soon. Happy Holidays
