Syntax Struggles

Miscommunication — it happens every day,

Sometimes it’s hard to put in words just what you want to say.

A filler word or stuttered start or misinflected tone,

Or jumbling up your letters while talking on a pheletone.


If not your mother tongue some things get lost in their translation.

Occasionally things are just open to misinterpretation.

Sometimes the words are clear but actions make the message mixed.

Or autocorrect miscorrects the word it chose to fix.


A quiet voice, a covered mouth, or somebody that mumbles.

Or sesquipedalian words which may cause you to stumble.

A homophone or homonym, confuse across the nations.

It even happened to my friend, her name is Miss Communication.
