Then I tried writing a poem using Cockney rhyming slang (my mother was a true Cockney - born within the sound of Bow Bells) and a smattering of German. But in the wee hours of this morning, I woke up in back-slang! I have one bit of rhyming slang, though. :) I'm dying to see what you have all done.Kim M.

But I don't know SLANG for either. It is an hour past my bed time but I had to finish it tonight, busy tomorrow.

When I was studying for my MFA one if the things I studied was Polari, the language used in the 1800s among theater people, gypsies, gay men, prostitutes, horse traders, etc. It was thought Oscar Wilde spoke Polari. I will be using this language in my poem. tonispencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200564195675794747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-81483301520057818652018-12-29T12:09:57.278-06:002018-12-29T12:09:57.278-06:00Hello all, I wrote the prompt without trying writi...Hello all, I wrote the prompt without trying writing myself... but after some playing around I had a lot of fun with it... <br /><br />Look forward to see what you come up with.brudberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563403553536472377noreply@blogger.com
