A silly poem by Alldae?

My blo-gah is not green

like a moss colored ring

or a frog sitting on a log

looking green


(which is not E-Z)





I say,


"my blo-gah"


with a sound

like the letter


O


round


like the Moon


O-la


rahondah


to a luna-tik






Who may see


OO


Did you know,


Moonshine is good


to so-m(ah)


luna-tiks!

A “Fo” Kər-tes Lo * Blo-gah!

A “Fo” Kər-tes Lo * Blo-gah!

Fake Kurtis: Oh Oh Oh

B
B

B- Baz’n

Wit’aot

Wax!



This is my mostly phonetic tribute to Rap music, black English poetry, and America, a country that supports freedom of Expression!



The word "Fo" is slang for Fake. I know I have hear people talk about fake name brands like "Fo" Sachi, or, as I myself created, a "Fo" Pu-bear sketch-design...for more information, see Faux (as in Faux Fur).



From Urban ( ər-ban ) Dictionary:



Fo can mean the following


1. Slang for the number "four"


2. Slang for "for"


3. Slang for info, or information



1. Yo, gimme the fo discs


2. Fo Shizzle (For sure)


3. Gimme the fo on dat guy.



Kurtis Blow was/ is a famous Music Entertainer /Performer.

The Hearing Alphabet: Not Phonetic...

Today, I wanted to review my path towards becoming a phonetic thinker.


Around 2010, I wrote this poem called "The Hearing Alphabet," which is meant to be read and heard.


"The Hearing Alphabet"



A is or Apron


B is for Bee


C is for Sea, that's how it sounds to me.


D is for Delight


E is Enough


F is for Effort, when the going gets tough.


G is for Genii


H is Ach-ae, it's really is an old word, spelled a new way! H-A!


I is for Eye


J is for Jade


K is for the Kale I eat when I'm afraid


L is for Elephant


M is Impress


N is for Into, although the spelling is a mess!


O is for Open


P is Peanut


Q is for Cue, on stage that's what you do.


R is for Are


S is Essay


T is for (you could) Teach the alphabet this way...


U is for You


V is Vegan


W is for Double U, (I cheated once again)


X is for Extra


Y is for Wine


Z is for Zine, a magazine of mine.





"Spelling is only a tool to communicate like any other human tool, it can be improved by human engineering."

From Valerie Yule from: "The Book of Spells and Misspells."





"Everyone...has to admit that of all languages of culture, English has the most antiquated, inconsistant and illogical spelling..."

Richard Venezky from: "The Book of Spells and Misspells."





My "update" idea to my old poem, is really a hint to anyone who may like the idea of "human en-gin-nir-ring," and has not considered using symbols...or adding additional symbols to the American or British alphabet...



...But what about sounds like


Ahh, as in the word A-ria or A-pple...


or Ehh as in E-ducate or Education...


which we could improve


with help from


me and you.

Mi Fo-nē-te-kā: Love Chocolate!

Mi Fo-neh-te-kah: Love Chocolate!



In (mostly) Standard American English:



This short writing was inspired by the book "Como Aqua para Chocolate" by Laura Esquivel, which translates in English to: Like Water for Chocolate.



In my daily reflections, I have come up with a few short ideas, or positive sayings.



My Reflections:



Love Chocolate
Need Water



(after watching Ellen on TV)
Need Milk
Like Water



(around a neighbor called "Pink")
Need Chocolate-Milk
Like Water



then...after playing around (verbally) with Pink:
Will make Blu Milk
Vodka looks like water.



My Nu Recipes:



Blue Milk



1 Packet Blue Cool Aid
[Kool Aid is a popular drink made from a packet of flavorful powder, sugar, and water.]



Soymilk



Mix powder with soymilk.



A Soy Sandwich Sauce



*I'm not sure why the nut pastes are called nut-butters...does the nut paste use oil which comes from butter?



1 tsp. Peanut butter
1 tsp. Tahini butter
Sesame Oil
Chilies (Red Pepper Flakes)
a little Vinegar




En Español



Me gusta Chocolate
Necesito Agua



(Despues de miré Ellen via television)
Necesito Leche
Me gusta Agua



(cerca de una mujer llamamos "rosada")
Necesito Leche - Chocolate
Me gusta Agua



pues mi reflexiono (yo pensé),
Quiero preparar Leche azul
Como Agua, Veo Vodka es claro.



Leche Azul



1 paquete de 'Kool Aid' de color azul
Soja (o leche de soja, o leche de soya)



mezcla el polvo con la soja.



Un salsa para un sandwich con soja (o soya)



1 tsp. (una cucharita) cacahuete
1 tsp. (una cucharita) Tahini paste
aceite (Sesame)
chilies
un poco vinagre

What Not To Waer...umm...Wear.

What Not To Waer....umm....Wear. What Not To Wear on TLC....



Yes, I did a little automatic spelling...and I like the results, but that is not the reason I wanted to post this blo-gah. I wanted to mention an episode of What Not To Wear (WNTW) on TLC. The fashion gurus did (IMO) a wonderful job improving a Blogger, who is also a Mother, named Amanda. I lah-vah her improved image...I like the Jenny Craige effect, "We specialize in results!" Amanda looked wonderful after the show.




What Amanda did:



1. She pulled her hair from out of her rubberband (or scrunche?), letting her long curly hair hang around her face and shoulders. A hair stylist then cut her hair...in layers?



2. She wore make-up, which gave her beautiful face an even complexion...and a nice healthy shine.



3. She added a new set of glasses (very stylish cat glasses with black frames) to her wardrobe.



4. She wore mid-length dresses, and comfortable (cam-ta-bul?) jeans (not too big), which showed off her attractive legs. As the host explaned, we don't have to like everything about our bodies, but we should never hate our bodies. In my opinion, she should show off the parts of herself that she likes.



5. And she wore heels....which looked great on her! I enjoyed this episode, the transformation looked wonderful!



I hope I can read her blog (blo-gh) about the experience! Amanda, my advice to you...you look nice. Don't strive for prefection, but rather (continue what you seem to be doing) keep balanced. Keep comfort in mind, stay professional (in professional settings), and feel good looking nice.
