Moonbee Canady Poet Light Verse

The Velvet Verse (2nd One)

Oh, Velvet-Verse
From Poet’s Purse
Silence is Golden…
… but Words, Told Its Worth…

In Silver-Tongue Lines
From Deep-Diamond Mines
Brilliant Thoughts Mingle
Hear The Poet’s Pocket, Jingle?

Poetry and Prose Costs… but Pays
thru Praise, or  Hearts and Ink Pens Raised
So Exchange Currency - 100 Percent
And Oh Joy… If Vocabulary, Pays The Rent !

A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Words
But Words… Say It Best
Less Mistake in what’s Heard
Less Mind-Reading, Or Wrong Guess

It Is True… ‘A Picture Is Worth
A Thousand Words…

But… Just  - One Word – Can Paint…
What A Thousand Pictures – Can’t !

Few Example(s):   God … Love    … Forever
                           Life …   Mystery …   War

Sara Kendrick September 10, 2009 at 1:48 AM Very thoughtful work. I enjoyed it. Keep writing. Sara P.S. You asked about dandelions being edible. I read in a herb book that they were brought here by the settlers as a food source and they have medicinal properties. I would check with someone who is an expert in the area of herbs and wild plants before I did eat them. Love your work. Sara

John Freeman September 9, 2009 at 8:55 PM I love your style of poetry, one of my favorites here on soup. You have a very unique name, are you from the Carolinas? Your name rings a bell, I use to haul livestock to North and South Carolina, and I think that's where I heard the name. Sincerely, John Moses
