Typebar Gems
“There is a similarity between juggling and
composing on a typewriter.”--Tom Robbins.
Hopefully,
words in longhand
become typeable.
Every
three weeks
I have infusions
of allotypes.
As an individual
I have been
called a holotype.
As actor
I was mostly
typecast.
My
genetic determinants
are idiotypes.
My
d’Verse poetry
is first typeset,
then lunar-bound.

Brilliant, Glenn! Love the wordplay.
What fun, Glenn! To the moon and beyond!
Glenn, you hooked me with Tom Robbins, one of my favorite authors (along with Chuck Palahniuk, both of whom live out in your neck of the woods. Is there something in the water out there?)
You are a man of many aspects and a richly textured human being. Always enjoyable to read what you see and I think you are in one of those anthologies going to the moon, yes?
Not sure what those infusions are that you get every 3 weeks. I hope your body is doing well, my friend.
great word play Glen
Hope you are alright Glen mate, your verse lays it bare as well as playing with words, and one can see the warrior of past times, the troubador's salut, between the lines...
Tickles my fancy, Glen. Well done.
Great word play in this piece. Nicely done poem.
A helluvalot said herein brother. Loved the variety, depth and poignancy you brewed out of just 44 words. Sorry about the immunoglobulin regimen Glenn, but we gotta do what we gotta do to be where we wanna be — I know it well my friend. I got silly with my 44.
Well said Glenn!
Lunar bound - your words will take off into space.
I loved your use of the prompt. Brilliant!
Clever and honest 'Know thyself' You obviously do.
Hi Glen!
Who says it's okay to only use the "word" once?!! You put me to shame. Love the little Quadrille.
Many types and lunar-bound indeed!
You rocked the quad word. I'm "feeling some type of way" as the young ones say, about our dVerse writings going to the moon. Absolutely ecstatic, as an old one would say. I agree with Ain, that you share much between the lines in this one. Take care, Glenn.
Haha - great smorgasbord of types. And enjoyed the image of our words floating beyond this realm.
"Every
three weeks
I have infusions
of allotypes."
I simply adore this stanza, Glenn. I mean, the whole poem is really good, but, wow, that particular stanza, seriously...
Much love,
David [ben Alexander]
