Three Word Invite

This week we are invited to write poetry or prose which explores (or includes) the following words: delulu, lewk, broligarchy.

. . . 

This little guy greeted us as we came in or out our hotel in Guatemala.  The link below will see him play.   Remembering our three words is as hard as teaching them to monkeys.

     Three Little Words 


A little "list poem" for you today 

My list is short, just three little words 

Three little words that I never knew 

Never knew before, how about you? 


     My Words for You 

Google knows a lot I gave it try 

These words are old, K-pop fans abriev

My talk will never use, silly words 

Here goes my list, google copied stuff 


1. delulu, a slang term, short for "delusional," and is used to describe someone who holds unrealistic, overly optimistic beliefs or fantasies, often with a playful or self-aware tone.

2.  lewk, a slang term, a deliberately stylized spelling of "look," that describes a distinctive, carefully curated, and often impressive fashion or personal style. 

3. broligarchy, it involves a small group of wealthy men who are not elected but wield significant power over government and society. 


Well now you know three more silly words 

 'Nough to be a starter, mess your brain 

May slip away, but no one will cry

I am in complete sympathy with you on this one, Jim! Can't say I warmed to these words, and I certainly won't be incorporating them into my vocabulary. (If that makes me elderly – very well then, I'm elderly.)

I had to Google them too but found them quite fun! Jae

Perhaps lacking in charm, these three words are a sign of the times that I likely won't hear anyone I know using. :)
