Val Brooklyn Rogers Blk Panther Poet Light Verse

A Word a Sentence

A page is nothing without a word.
Urge the verb.
UNHOOK THE LATCH.
Set the tenses ABLAZE.

Get the NERVE.
TO OBSERVE. THE FURY OF THE FLURRY.
Allow THE MINGLE.
Build the FENCES THAT CONNECT THE
SENSES. 
BREAKDOWN
BUILD SETS OF WORDS.
SEND  TENSES TO SENTENCES.
HENCE
COMMANDING AND STRIKING AFFAIRS OF 
IDEAS.

ABOVE ALL FEED THE MOTION WHICH
PRODUCES THE URGE, WITH FUEL.
A WORD.

David Meade December 9, 2014 at 4:49 PM Love it! The power of the word -- spoken and unspoken . . . loved the formatting of the words and sentences -- added a nice tension and a sense of action!! word action!!

Darlene Gifford December 9, 2014 at 1:59 PM I enjoyed your light poetry. So true, that it does take words to fill a page. And the right words form a poem. Christmas Blessings, Darlen Val Brooklyn Rogers Blk Panther December 9, 2014 at 4:24 PM Thank you Darlene. I was worried initially. I didn't know if anyone would understand it. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
