Words Coming Together with Words
This word right HERE is copacetic.
Not rancorous, angry or frenetic,
but because it is magnetic,
other words peripatetic
suddenly become kinetic
and join it to turn epithetic.
Postscript: I can’t help rhyming. It’s genetic!!!
My mother and I wrote rhymed poems together from the time I was small. I guess she was the one who put the magnetism into words for me. Thanks, Mom.
Now I only have Kukla as a collaborator. She leaves most of the word decisions to me.
The prompt today was magnetic.

This didn’t occur to me until after her death,but after those early rhyme sessions with my mother, other than a few children’s poems and funny rhymes for cards or mock sonnets, I didn’t do much rhymed poetry until the last few years.

I love the magnet poem about Mother. She would love it, too.

I believe you gave me those magnets, didn’t you?

I know. I still think of things I’d like to show her. Think she could have mastered a computer?

Aww, I like the little story about hoe your mom influenced you and also the photo of your cat by your laptop. Nice poem, too, of course! Magnetic poetry looks fun.

Kukla is a wise kitty; she knows where her skills lie. You make a great team.
Don’t tell anybody, but I had to look up ‘copacetic’.

That’s ’cause you are such a young thang. That was definitely a ’70s hippie word.

I was at art college in the ’70s, playing at being a hippy, but maybe the word never got imported to the UK. Things were so different before the internet connected us.

The phrase “I’m copacetic” was endemic here during that time.

I like it. I may try using it. It would make a good rap word, especially for rap battles. I like to hear a good rap battle…

Dammit! I should have known someone would have already rhymed ‘pathetic’ with it.
Looks like I have to go back to the drawing board…

No need for an apology. You saved me from being accused of plagiarism. 🙂
And, anyway, I enjoyed the song.
