Some thoughts on words and writing

Advice

Be brief, Strunk and White wrote

Eschew prolixity and bloat 

The soul of levity

Is anchored in brevity

Wodehouse is an exception worth note.

Shakespeare did it

It’s verbal reconceptualization

It’s repackage as noun formation

It’s grammar rule breaking

It’s colorful making

Grammarians call it nominalization.

A limerick with literary pretensions

Internal rhymes are a feat

Infernal at times to complete

They’re hard to compose

As any bard knows

But supernal, sublime and so sweet.
