Gleaves-Speak

Gleaves-Speak

A Poem by Elijah Gleaves
"

A poem about the fact that I create my own words all the time

"
Language carved out of imagination,
Sounding like Blue+Yellow= Green.
Thoughts transfered
Through speech without any meaning; 
Like metaphors without the comparisons.
Cliches go through rehab
And roll off tongues
WIth clean veins and new hope for the future.
North Philadelphian slang
mixed with floetics and a dash of simile-Creating art like
Paint on white canvases-
Gleaves-speak is like
Light beaming, 
Peppered with originality and specks of grey cloud,
Whispered on blank loose leaf and
Cemented with a Papermates ink.
The boiled  daydreams
Of a kid too unique for his own good,
That's what Gleaves-speak is.

I think I might have picked up a littler of that somewhere along the way, though i can't imagine how, We've not met! I really like this piece mane, Its fun to read and I can actually imagine that you speak likegat the time. Sweet a*s Write, for sure! The r on the end of little was a slip on the keyboard, but I liked it, so it remains. The "likegat" is one of mine! I call it a "VanDusenelism" THAT PHRASE IS TRADE MARKED AND NOT TO BE USED WITHOUT PERMISSION OUTSIDE OF realmwriter INC. Ok so I kinda stole a line from Talladaga Nights there, my Bad. Love the write, Truely!

"With clean veins and new hope for the future" really touched me because I am a recovering addict. The whole write is very original and well written. Kudos
