Trickster Text Thursday: Linguistic Disturbance

Meaning Is Slightly Unsupervised Here

(Activity)

Let Language Loosen Giving Linguistic Disturbance

(Exercise)

Post one to five lines where language bends, slips, or misbehaves. Short. Witty. Unpolished (Micro Poem).

Let meaning drift just far enough to notice.

Theme: Haunted Homophones

Use sound-alike words to make meaning misbehave.

Example:

I said I needed peace,

but my past heard piece

and arrived carrying scissors,

eager to discuss what remained of the evidence.
