The Subject of your Sentence

The Subject of your Sentence

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


The Subject of your Sentence

 

 

i was just a nondescript pronoun

until you came along and gave me color

made me the noun i always wanted to be

 

the most adverbially modified adjectives

could not describe

my transcription into specific being

nor detail resolutely enough

 

the healing of my heart,

in conjunction with your love.

Would that I could parse this sentence ... perhaps the subject here will let you off for good behaviour.
Truly adverbsarial writing.

Well done j.

than you for your words and the smile, Ted,

being in love gives words their meaning and wonderful places within a sentence, hell, even vowels become more bold and colorful... it’s a wonderful feeling isn’t it Jacob...

Wonderfully written and stated. Love can make us come into being, into nouns and names to behold. You, we are grammatically correct "in love."

Hahaha. Was using it as a metaphor. You are welcome sir Jacob.
very fine example of how to play with a conceit - the old pedagogue still has it :)
