please, please, please, give the word poem its second sound. let the diphthong form! please! don’t don’t don’t be so miserly with your sounds as to rob the word. even if you don’t like poetry, even if you don’t like reading, let the word have its full form. if it’s the last sound you make. let it be that soft downstroke, the exhale. əm. please.
