Fun with Words
Some words undergo alteration if you add
or remove a single letter from their spelling.
Remove the “a” from “paint” and you get “pint.”
Add an “o” to pint and you get “point.”
Remove the “o” from point and add an “r”
the result is “print.” And that’s what happens
when you make it a point to have more...

Beneath the Godforsaken Gate
Beneath the GODFORSAKEN gate, the wind is low,
It hums through iron teeth, a GROANING chord.
The past returns in whispers cold and slow—
A GHOSTLY dirge no mortal could afford.
Its hinges hold the weight of GRAVE goodbyes,
Where time forgets to heal the GRIEF-STRICKEN soul.
Through GOSSAMER regrets, the daylight dies,
And shadows learn to make the broken whole.
No lock...

Shut Up
So tired of the TV talking heads
twisting every word that's said
much of it scripted
and has to be read
they don't even have a vested interest
only putting their mouth
where the money is at best
my advice to them...
'If you have nothing useful to add,
Mum's the word
don't drive us mad,
keep it under wraps
stow it under your hat,
put a lid...

My Treasure BoxI fill my little treasure box
With things that people say
Each one a precious tender note
To bring joy to my day
And when life turns from friend to foe
When days are long and drear
I pull each little keepsake out
To fill my heart with cheer
The words you say, the words you write
Leave echoes in my heart
The sweet...

The Madness of Poets 2A poets words tumble from the floor to the sky
We let them breathe, they live, we mourn, they die.

Be Straight With MeI can handle the truth if you give me a chance
Your trying to control the situation in advance
You're telling me everything but what I want to hear
Being honest is one way you show you're sincere
Don't beat around the bush and be straight forward
I know seeing my reaction can be quite awkward
Knowing how you really...

Spinning The Word WheelFor useful words, the word wheel I will spin.
I anxiously wait for which words I’ll win.
How many sentences will they complete?
Rhyming the end words will be quite a feat.
A noun or a verb, I commonly win,
While over and over I’ll spin and spin.
Adjectives, articles, pronouns for sure,
And other types to add to the allure.
Prepositions,...
