There is a rhythm no matter the period
That comes in the speech of these
Or in a pair of these   pair in these    pair in the these
          However you say it
In the speaking of these
That is natural as in the honking of geese

Come ma, see the speak easy
Exclaim to the nation
Her ex
Claymation, a post declaration
A eulogy to a past situation
A post strophe to a fallen tragedy

He lisps but still is smooth
In his diction 
Airy in his speech
Brace yourself for the hype
In the crowd
Dashing all doubt
Feel it in your colon
Semi rumble
Question Mark Luke or James
It’s all the same

  6. Stew this is a wonderfully rhythmic, and avant-garde piece of poetry, playing beautifully with linguistics, phonetics and visual layout. And your final line is the star of the piece – a brilliant phonetic pun 👏
