-ORCHESTRAS-

"Chet, stare here."
"Stare-? OH! ROACHES!"
"Ha, ha! Cease tears, Chet, roaches race to the trash there."

[GillH]

So true!

ORCHESTRAS

He stares. Caro has a ‘tache. Cor! Ah! Tears, etc. She hates her ‘tache - or she hates haters?
Her oath: act as a cat.

-ORCHESTRAS-


Sea stars! Ah hates sea stars!

Eh?

Ears ache; Ah sea stars.

Oh....

[redrun]

Ears ache; Ah sea stars.

-ORCHESTRAS-

Seth's chest scorches.
"As a sear, the scar!
Heart, hot as torches!
Scar's heat, as a star!"

[GillH]

Time for a haiku:
ORCHESTRAS

The crests east arc, retch.
Ah! The chaste shore hears the crash.
Hearts roar: “Reach the shore!”

EDIT 5/3/23 - missed a word!

[maxgal]

Ears ache; Ah sea stars.

-ORCHESTRAS-

Seth's chest scorches.
"As a sear, the scar!
Heart, hot as torches!
Scar's heat, as a star!"

"Seth's chest scorches." ==> Try saying this sentence aloud 5 times fast.

-ORCHESTRAS-

Hear Hera's Orca torch the sea!

HA! Hera's Orca's torch's hot!
O! Orca! Hers! Hers! Hers!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Hear hear, O Orca!
Ah, Hera!

When Vachel Lindsay's poems are hard to read aloud, that's to force a certain cadence on the reader, so that it's "singing poetry". I hope for a smidgeon of that effect, but this one's practically a tongue twister at the end. Five times fast, indeed!

-ORCHESTRAS-

"Chaos!" - coarse to hear, rose to the ear.
"Torch!" - the chore: to char each a store.
"Tears!" - to those the chaos reach.
"Roar!" - to the ear, to the chest, to cheat the heart's rest.

To the rear o' the torchers, the echo:
"Oh, chase the stars, cross the charts,
Cross the earth, search the hearts,
Rear a Hector to chase, to tear,
To teach the torchers the sore, the scare."

O WOW, can't touch that latest WOW.

...another Big Word...?

[maxgal]

OK, I'll put another one out there:

ANTIDEINSTITUTIONALIZATION

Do I lie in it?
O, do! Line it.
No, not line; lie!
Isn't it too old?
No! I don't die in it; I lie in it!
O... so...
O, tie one on.
O! I do!

ANTIDEINSTITUTIONALIZATION

- Titus! Titus? Ou est Titus? Au stade? Dans la-
- Non, non, il est a l' institut. Toute la nuit.
- Toute...?
- Oui. Il etudie Einstein.
- Il a une otite!
- Tu sais, Einstein est IN. Titus sait. Tous les etudiants, aussi! Ils etudient toute la nuit.

ANTIDEINSTITUTIONALIZATION

-No entiendo esta nota. Se titula "Atentos! Ideas Sueltas!!!”
-“Sueltas?”
- Si, sale en “El Aldeano Al Instante”. Lee! “Ideas entusiastas se deslizan en la aldea. No se detienen. Los aldeanos notan analisis!”
-Santo Dios! Notan analisis?
-Si, se nota analisis en las aldeas. Se notan ideas!
-Ideas en la zona... Loado sea! Lo intuia.
