Category: Conjugationals

Conjugationals are verses in a new poetic form based on the conjugations of verbs for effect, from the first person singular to the third person plural. However for effect or for meaning some conjugationals play with the form. This form of verse was created by Tate Jakes in 2017.

The Ability to Live in the 3rd Person

The Ability to Live in the 3rd Person

I live in the third person
You can live in the third person too
Yes he, the poet lives in the third person. He does…

And we can live in the third person together
You don’t (very few of you all) live in the third person now…
But they can, the poet and his friend, they can live in the third person…

Conjugational: Aren’t I?

Aren’t I

I am, aren’t I?
You are, aren’t you?
He is, isn’t he? And surely, she is too, isn’t she?

We are, aren’t we?
You are plural, aren’t you?
They are aren’t they?

Notes: One of the problems with Conjugationals is how to use the second person plural. Sometimes, I use the word in the Conjugational, either for effect or to at least make it different to the singular…

Congestion Conjugation

Congestion Conjugation ~ or ~ Traffic Conjestion

I am traffic
You are traffic
He/she is traffic

We… are all traffic!
You… are all traffic!
And they are all traffic too!

(I repeat, We are all traffic!)

Notes: My first conjugational, which came easy to title with congestion being so close a relative. The gist is that we should not complain about traffic because we are all traffic.
