Play for Play
of Words be spoken
Speak of Truth, eh?

Day for Night for Day
and Truth to Token
Play for Play

When you want It, Yesterday?
Gratified tho' fie be broken
Speak of Truth, eh?
 
Paronamasia, Paronamasia, yea
Words-on-Words, ain't  jokin'!
Play for Play

Bring to fore, more, more! Stay
the Lex of Rhyme and Voz
Speak of Truth, eh?

Hedonism For Fun & Pleasure, say
The Faux Art of Redundancy, evokin'
Play for Play
Speak of Truth, eh?

yes we have the play for play announcer, but he's not the man that brings the game to life...No..it's the Color Commentator ....he would use words like Paronamasia to freshen it up...he would have read the book, Hedonism for Fun and Pleasure to have a sense of how to entertain us....nice word play ...will he tell us the truth ? Do we want
it ? ...or do we want something more colorful ?.....its hard some days to extract any sincerity from the mumbo jumbo that's trotted out as entertainment , or especially as news....peace

saw - It's ever-uplifting (sometimes astounding) when I Read cogent, yet personal, interpretations of my Work, yet is not this a mission of the Poet?  We are fortunate as Writers of same to have the luxuries of crawling into our own heads simultaneously with another's, & back again, to mutual-resonance. In regard to your take on this Piece, to quote Ms. T (no, not a relation of Mr. T.), "...they're (spouting) mumbling jumbo!"  Paz -   H'H./H.e.m.

hohe hoholulu

it seemed to be something from hindu scriptures

hoping it was- dave eberhardt  at  mozela9@surfglobal.net

[doreen peri]

fancy meeting you here

as usual, your use of the language is interesting and unique

i like this piece!

[Terri]

I want to know what "HFFP(TFAR)" is--help? 

So far, I'm taking this as commentary on any/all of the Professional Liars out there--advertising, political speech-writing, etc. 

"tho' fie  be broken"--as in "semper fi"?

Hedonism For Fun & Pleasure, say
The Faux Art of Redundancy,

cracked me up. 

[constantine]

the letters, if i may be so bold, are the initials of the lines that you admire. ain't that a kick in the head.

[Terri]

Well, s***.  Leave it to me to miss the obvious...

[saw]

Oh my GOD..., " ain't that a kick in the head" ?....I knew it Dino, ....Dino,... of course you are the ghost of Dean Martin.....guess that makes us The Golddiggers.......Happy Saturday

d.e. - Yes, I am of "Hindu Scripture" (Shabbat Shalom), however, the last time I trucated to count the Rings of Age, Lord, I was no longer in the guise of "hershey shehan," mof, I eschew chocolate, & "Cindy" is spelled w/"2 ee's"; but thx. for comin' by to inquire.  Btw, did you attempt clicking on the E-mail to determine if this was possibly a message from a chukcha?  H'H./H.e.m.

[HaroHalola]

d.p. - "Fancy...", you say?  Well, carcanet of Pearl, you forgot I said the "Best Friday after the 'Good One' sometime in the Spring when the Equinox has shifted to the nadir, & we would tip the antipode, recognized by our Word Jackets?"  I'm crushed by your lapse-cum-coy...  Hi!   H'H./H.e.m.

Terri - TY, you're assessment/perception of the Work speaks loudly-with-import, more-so than the targets (& warmarts & martmarts...) the not-so-capricious jibe/gibe & jab is Xenoed-at, whom for all-their bluster, come-up (were It not so bloody & damaging) "fi-fie-fo-hum" (as in "hum-vee-hick'ls") http://poetryinbaltimore.com/smf/index.php?topic=18600.0

And D. the Bold helped your "crack me up" to crack the Code, TY.  The Piece is a "play-on-play," as is 'splayed from the jump; references to Cinema's Truffaut, a plea for cogency of Language, culminating in HFFP-TFAR, & of course, the Villanelle Form, by definition, a "redundancy" to hammer-It Home, where save for us as Poets & Artists & Writers & Thinkers (albeit OC), No Damn One is listening; I mean, how can ya', with an iPod in each ear ("Quote Sir Daniel, 'I got 2 & I ain't!' "), a PT Cruiser under each foot, a "cheesy"-crust pizza (counting each bite - chronologically <>), a Bud, & the "chiliporn" Internet...?   H'H./H.e.m.
