Federated Loogie Knocksteeds (NaPoWriMo 2020, day 21)

Today’s National Poetry Writing Month prompt urged us poets to look at a poem in a different language (Dutch in this case, for the curious) and write a poem based on a phonetic transcription of the poem. Friends, if you ever want to get Outside of the Box, this may well do it.

Original excerpt:

Federatie Loog Nog Steeds

We zijn zo gezien
Klunzig vuursyteen om
machten te maken langs onze
Geraasd in…

(Note: I tried to access the rest of the original pome but got a “404 Document Not Found message. Provisional apoogies to the author.)

My poem:

Federated Loogie Knocksteeds

We zing so frickin’ gassy
Clumsy fugs staying home
mocking the mockers’ long-ass Weejuns.

Geroff instantly.
you Afterthoughts,
or Gentle Men
will cease.

Crazy World, isn’t it, Friends?
