Wordy

Often too much flash and not enough substance I mean, I like dessert as much as the next guy...but please be mindful, of ones own poetic waste/waist-line Of course, each to his/her lyric own; therefore, I speak not to those already Committed~ but to those at the ledge, contemplating the Writer's Leap -- whether not~ or to Poem? if to add one's own sweet and sour to the poetic flour making words splash and shower budding words that flower making even the smallest words to the ears and eyes of others summit phonetically, phenotypically tower!

Joe, you are never wordy.... ! You say things precisely. Sometimes wordiness is needed. It adds flavor. Dessert is pleasing. But when we over eat, it can enlarge our waste line. In the same way sometimes, too many words become a waste. I really enjoyed the analogy here.

I like your poems. They are down to earth. Words certainly are the guts of poetry.

As with everyday living, I attempt to connect on a real level -- sometimes it works out better. Thank you, Hilda, for the encouragement. Blessings.

Such a cool style you use here and by using your unique style , you show, not tell, what poetry is about.

Thank you, Paula. Growing up I was on the receiving end of much Tough Love...am grateful now. I did not appreciated it then, but have come to realize -- being silent, or telling everyone they deserve a trophy, is not necessarily the best or helpful. I am only one voice, and maybe a totally ignorant one -- What do I know? Blessings my friend.
