The cockerel slammed it shut and put a padlock on the latch
Ignoring Fox...

while the news just labels and cradles out the issues to misuse without paying 
dues and then we...

Words speak volume, we don't always think,
Words speak volume, May need healing,
Words speak volume, please tread carefully.

Words speak volume, whether good or bad,
Words that come from deep inside, you may be blind,

Think carefully before you speak,you may never...

He’s back under the bleachers, this naughty little boy.
He’s got a cattle prod that he has named King Tut.
It’s fully charged and ready to zap someone in the butt.

He looks front to back and side to side.
He spots a...

me towards your mother or father; If you have...

I’ve read too many
Words – adjectives and adverbs
Poetry and prose
Both delicious with color
And captivating with feeling
Like music, they have charmed me
My mind absorbs their excuses
Benefiting from their reasons
Justifications that count
Me one of the spellbound
One of the awestruck
One trapped by names
Styles and expressions
Terms and verses
