This reads like the writer is trying their best to write in the middle of some kind of episode.
I kinda like that.
I like the use of "fill" instead of feel..at the end. Feels more true to the soul. Like you are "filling" with your feelings.
I like that.
I have done "pomes" like this in the past for effect ... but my favorite part is how readily the mind reads through the errors and gets the meaning with or without technical perfection. ~Jim
I am a 51 year old dyslexic English teacher and I applaud you for this poem. My students sometimes ask me while I struggle to spell something on the document camera why I teach English If I suck at spelling. I tell them because I LOVE literature. Your poem encapsulates this. Your lines, "I had a dictionery once but it got ruined in my flood of thoughts" are so beautiful! With your permission, I would love to share your poem with my students to illustrate the point that I want to hears their thoughts when they write even if it isn't perfect as I am receiving so much writing from A.I. instead of them. Thank you for your poem.
