Poem: "The Geometry of Language"
This poem came out of the May 7, 2013 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired and sponsored by janetmiles. This is a fun use of extended metaphor.
The Geometry of Language
Everyone has a point to make,
moving from one segment of discussion to another,
plain speech sliding down the plane of the ecliptic,
swooping to take off on a curvilingual tangent
through volumetric space in which
the shortest distance between two puns is a straight line.
