On the Unlocking of Words
Their leader answered him, Beowulf unlocking
Words from deep in his breast: "We are
Geats…”
-Beowulf to the Danish Coast Watcher
In bold and sturdy
four-beat lines
Beowulf keeps his
knowledge clear
With kennings well-crafted
and careful caesurae
And never needing to raise
his voice
But thus the Grendel-voice
responds:
“Woo woo that’s
just my person opinion that’s what I’m talking about follow your passion learn
to code no offense, but wtf oh my God oh my God woo woo hey hey ho ho
something-something has got to go woo woo only dead fish go with the flow tear
it down shut it down burn it down woo woo lock her up there is no I in team woo
woo not my president it’s not rocket science it is what it is woo woo say it
loud say it clear this is what something looks like woo woo is there an app for
that woo woo that’s what I’m saying woo woo…”
But you - be brave
like Beowulf, and boldly dare
To unlock your words with
creativity and care
