Not Much of a Poem

Why does every poet have a poem

called “poem,” and why do empty bottles

seem more poetic than anything

I ever called a “poem”? 

Metaphorical drowning a joy

like a first drink on a Friday night,

but also the sort of death that feels as if it should rhyme.

On my best mornings, I’m a puddle

in love with its own evaporation,

while the sun writes a ‘Dear John’ letter

all over my closed eyes.

SAD

Winter nights the colour of whisky

because it’s better than darkness

telling the same story about shortening days and snow

clean as a funeral shroud.

Happiness an empty glass,

while blacked out laughter

better than another evening

remembering there’s less and less light

and how my bed is inviting like a grave.

Background Noise

Better than silence,

and even if it doesn’t know

my name and can never learn it,

it welcomes me and this poem home,

along with so many others

who believe they’re louder

than they are.  

My Nyotaimori Girl

My American geisha,
burlesque cirque artisan.
Tranquil repose,
tapestry, platter of flesh.
Living canvas…
Raven hair Beachy twisted,
alabaster pseudo-funereal mask.
Amethyst plain,
pregnant with fuchsia teardrop.
Oracular seer…
Five piece Dynamite Roll necklace,
Fantasy Roll pendant.
Four piece Firecracker Roll,
a contour line denoting the breastial valley.
Voluptuous siren…
Two piece Hot Night Roll,
a tiara atop each roseate nipple throne.
Six piece Kamikaze Roll,
a covering for mons pubis.
Erotic missive…
Corpus supine,
enveloped by vermilion roses and argent orchids.
Victorious renaissance samurai’s,
celebratory reward.
Radiant altar…

Someone To Speak For Me

 It is useless knowing a language anymore

when there are computers to know it for you.

I am forgetting the keyboard keys.

I am forgetting my name

and the name of the screen.

I do not need it. I do not need

to know what I do not know.

Query the word for words for my open mouth.

Hello I am leaving hello right

here on the inside of my

yangilik yaratishga moyilligi bilan ajralib turadi. Til o’zgarishi tabiiy jarayon bo’lib, u avlodlar tafovutini ham aks ettiradi.

INTRODUCTION
In the current era of globalization, the internet has become an integral part of youth life. This has lead to the emergence and widespread use of new linguistics units known as slang. Internet slang is characterized by brevity, expressiveness and
creativity. Language change is a natural process that reflects generational differences.

ASOSIY QISM
Yoshlar tili – bu muayyan ijtimoiy guruh vakillari tomonidan ishlatiladigan, o’ziga xos leksik, fonetik va grammatik xususiyatlarga ega nutq shaklidir. Internetning rivojlanishi yoshlar tili uchun yangi imkoniyatlar yaratdi.”Telegram “,” Instagram “, “TikTok “ kabi platformalarda yangi so’z va iboralar paydo bo’lib, tez tarqalmoqda.
Masalan, “cringe “,” sus”, “based “,” cap”, “noob”, “vibe”, “mood”, “flex” kabi so’zlar o’zbek yoshlarining tilida keng qo’llanmoqda. Fakt sifatida shuni ko’rsatish mumkinki, O’zbekiston yoshlari orasida olib borilgan so’rovnomalar 70%dan ortiq ishtirokchilar har kuni sleng so’zlardan foydalanishini bildirgan. Bu esa internet tili yoshlar orasida
ommaviy axborot quroliga aylanganini ko’rsatadi. Shuningdek, ingliz tilidan kirib kelayotgan neologizmlar morfologik moslashuv orqali o’zbek tiliga singmoqda.

MAIN PART
Youth language is a speech form used by specific social groups with distinct lexical, phonetic, and grammatical characteristics. The development of the internet has opened new opportunities for youth communication. Platforms such as Telegram, Instagram and TikTok generate and spread new words rapidly. For example, words
like “cringe”, “sus”, “based”, “cap”, “noob”, “vibe”, and “flex”, have entered the daily speech of Uzbek youth. Research shows that over 70%of Uzbek youth use slang words daily. This indicates that the internet language has become a dominant means of youth
communication. Furthermore, English neologisms are being morphologically adapted into the Uzbek language, showing linguistic flexibility and integration.

Internet va texnologiya taraqqiyoti natijasida yoshlar tili doimiy ravishda o’zgarib bormoqda. Bu o’zgarishlar ijobiy jihatdan tilni boyitsa, salbiy tomondan adabiy me’yorlardan chetlanishga sabab bo’lmoqda. Linguistlar uchun asosiy vazifa – bu
jarayonni ilmiy jihatdan kuzatish va yangi birliklarning tizimliligi hamda madaniy ta’sirini o’rganishdir.

CONCLUSION
As a result of technological progress, youth language continues to evolve. These changes enrich the language but may also lead to deviation from literary norms. For linguists, the main task is to observe this process scientifically and analyze the systematic and cultural impact of new linguistic units.

December

The sky is ablaze with pink promises
I left my typewriter at your wooden door
My old red scarf is hanging around
It smells of innocent love and lies
My pink bouquet at your mother’s bed
We made strings of forever moments
I know your taste of Nirvana and dark rounds
My homemade epiphany made you a noble hero
You are now saintly and distant from me
Your new love loves your unforgettable smell
I am at my bedroom door still lying around
December was our best month like a best friend
Glittering dice of letters are in the fire
The snowflakes are pouring pain in my earlobe
I hope the year tastes good.

To My Shoira Teacher

Dear Poet Teacher, a blessing divine,

Your laughter and kindness forever shine.

You run for your students, both night and day —

From God, your smile lights my way.

Your name outshines the silver moon,

Your pride — like mountains that touch the noon.

Beside me you stand, my guiding light,

Your words — sweet honey, warm and bright.

You lit a lamp in my darkest hour,

Awake through nights with tireless power.

You teach us truth from every art —

Your wisdom blooms within each heart.

Let no envy shadow your grace,

A thousand pages could not embrace

The love, the beauty your soul bestows —

May God protect you where’er you go.

To praise your name — my student’s part,

I keep you close within my heart.

With all my strength, with love so true —

For Allah’s sake, I cherish you.
