First meet and more to come!
If in zwodder, you might as well heed A zuggers among us, with a will to intercede So take in yeepsen, wuzzle in muse wrine in thought, as I wordify you!
At anywhen now, in a bout to baffound There’s a be-hounc’d tale of a belly-pinched bird Higher up, in eye-reach seems, a burdalone word-pecker drills his hole in dreams
Years in batilbaby, wisp bull-speaking crows, davering in day-mares and their deepmusing throws Dawed to extinction, as a downfart spews Where the dittology of witworms, in an elfmill rules
Not affected by the dudman’s birds, this fine farded word-pecker faffles his words So hit up the blink-fencers, choosehow now There’s a clapperclaw chryme, willed to clash in clow
The bouffage’s set, where all the jarkmen adjourn ready to bumwhush, all the butts and bounds learned Bowdlerized in bruzzle, a chantepleur The word-pecker now sings his new first word...

This has the mark of the professional, artwork and writing both. If I didn't already have an illustrator for my Grimms modern fairy tale anthology, I'd be after you! I hope you're putting your works into a collection to sell.
OH this is so good! I'm happy to have found
your work. Thanks for your review ;) otherwise
I wasn't familiar with your work. Such unique
words, pray tell are they gaelic or what? I'm
intrigued.

Now isn't this interesting work! I'd say, you should all comon down and get your prize for the best creative poem should win the prize! Don't you think? God, this was too cool!Love Holly
There are some that conform to the old rules about what an artist can or can not do, and then there are some who cut the edge of creative thought to show the sedentary that there is a whole world of wonders out there left untapped. You are the latter. And the image/metaphor of a woodpecker beating his head against a tree to make a hole to hide his treasure/sustenance in is brilliant.
You are a breathe of fresh air creatively Kimmy. One of the best! I hope your work is read by the world. Your art here is splendid!
He sits with mouth agape and marvels at your talent.

Kimmy when i read this i thought sad but truth i got out of this that poetry is dying in our youth. Art is falling behind.
Our generation needs to change that. You make a wonferful contribution by making reading and learning fun. Send this to our
schools. I for one, going to give this to my homeschooler as his required reading this week. Thanks Kimmy

I can't take the credit on these words, they truly are some of the most remarkable English words, ever forgotten from the archaic museum of words...
Enjoy!
Ya got my mind working on overtime. I hope that word-pecker likes witworms cause me mind is blown away. I feel clapperclawed and downfart. (lol) I love this. Sure hope Webster don't mind.
Kimmy, a out loud recitation of this poem need to be done whilst munching a mouthful of Cherios, I tried without...no dice.
Very cleverly done and beautifully constructed new words!!!

Outstanding composition on linguistics' history in a complete poetic task.
I have learned through the lines of "The Word-Pecker and the Witworms",
and enjoyed the reading of its artistic lesson.
I salute You, Poet.
In admiration,
