I'd like to share something that I've been working on for quite a while.
Although it's basically just this one thing, it may not be in a style
that you are used to. Still, I think that if you give it half a chance,
you'll see what I mean when I say that, in each given circumstance,
you alone will hear the syncopated rhythms marked by rhymes.
Have fun with the ideas they spark, then contemplate the times
your eyes allow for explanations as each word presents a voice. You see
both name and salutation. ‘Hi’ is the perfect choice for me.
So call me ‘Hi’, short for Hieronymous, or ‘Corey’ if you prefer,
because to either I will answer. To your judgment, I’ll defer,
because only you can say when you concur with something someone said.
I wouldn't presume to speak for you, or put ideas in your head,
but if you need a definition of a term that is in doubt,
then I would suggest a good library dictionary. Check one out.
If what you really want to hear are more amusing words galore,
then what I’d say is that each day we fill our hours, twenty-four,
and every minute we are in it is nearly spent like every beat
that you can hear within this clearly stated versicle, replete
with my suggestions to the questions that pertain to such events.
So, if you're not amused quite yet, imagine a few minutes hence.
It's what I do. This is my flavor. I intend to edu-tain
with every word put here before you, of which fewer now remain.
As a self-professed prose poet, I’m thus equipped for self-defining
with this ordinary language wherein terms in use are mining,
digging deep into a consciousness of context and content
to clearly create a conception. Consequently, your consent
to the idea that such cadences and rhymes portray a beating heart,
reveals how fortunate I am that you would consider this ‘Hi’ art.
My technique isn't perfect, but it's not far from perfection.
I hide subtle little hints in small, subliminal suggestions.
They’re the kind of things you’ll think about, but as I’ve said before,
just because you think them, don't assume what lies in store.
For if you follow up relationships to every time and date,
you'll see how things can be affected by peculiar twists of fate,
like hints that are subliminal, rooted in the sublime,
and twisted here without resistance in each riddled rhyme.
