Not One Word
Silence
The sweet rhapsody of quietness
Sit back and savor
the music of the void,
where no dissonant voices are heard
It's so relaxing in this soundless realm;
break not the peace, speak not one word
Stay muted,
let all unspoken thoughts flow within
a serene state of mind, cascading down
into a calm stream...

My thoughts let go of a thousand memories,
     like faces, dates, times and places;
yet, I can easily recall each and every detail,
               on the day of your...

An individual doesn't need to search the internet,
use a dictionary or thesaurus
to define the word

One Word
Littered thoughts lay
 crumpled on the floor,
 lips bear the imprint
 of a fingernail.

A single word
 dances at the end
 of my fingertips,
 I scratch paper
 into confetti.

The first stanza
 dares me to
 give it autarky,
 declare its truth
 all its faults
 in every sentence.

This...

One word is worth a thousand pictures

Wait a minute, don't think I've got that right

BUT HEY! That works too if that one word is LOVE

It conjures up all sorts of heart warming scenarios

Love between parents and their children

Love of a Golden Retriever as she greets...

One Word
Ahhhh! My heart!

She said one word, 
And it shattered my soul,
Once so strong,
My diamonds are coal!

Ridicule, disdain, and disgust
Are all her testy mind can must!

I am stupid,
Indignantly so! 
How ever with such insults
Shall I properly grow?

My heart! The pain!
The sting of one word!
Tis an ache...

There Is But One Word
Warning - Mature.

Sweet night, a blanket made from scented space - holds this would-be poet in its arms.

Tightly - yet with care.  Caring - yet with passion.  Smiles her heart.  Trembles her dreams.  Hides them silverine in moments indescribable.  Night...

Am I the only one who's feeling there is something very wrong with all of this ,
I can't seem to get anybody to listen not even when I raise  my fist.
    How can they not see what I see ,has everybody...

Just One Word Can Destroy a Man
He knew what to do when you were sad,
He knew what to do when you were mad,
He knew what to do when you lost everything you had,
He stayed everyday to dawn fixing those pieces of yourself that fell,
He stayed waiting patiently giving his soul to...

One Word, Celebration
One-word contest begged participation.
     Putting my mind in acceleration,
     I entered with the word - celebration.

     each day as an excuse for...
