Stating and relating, not
merely dictating. After all, aren’t trivial words worth little more than a
fistful of candy corn in the night?
Feisty Original (a
writer’s acrostic)
Finding fresh
phrases to fall
Ends every so
often in excess.
Imagined ironies also
increase insights,
Sometimes
strengthening resolve.
Try these turns
of phrases;
Yielded imports
may bring a bounty.
Outlandish or
odd, fact or fancy,
Rhymed or random,
language brings learning.
Insights and
delights vie for attention,
Gaining ground
and ceding space.
Ideas are
creative chattel or dull debris.
No one knows
until verses are voiced.
Audible readings
add power to poetry.
Listen, and you
may live a little.
