Lord Landon is loquacious
confident, not always right
his words expansive, spacious
often causes a bar fight

Last night met a strange man in a party
Maybe luckily he sat next to me
After introduction, started to talk
on topics felt exciting, stopped hardly.
Perhaps found it easy to talk with glee.
Hoped it'd be quiet dinner but who knew
the man next to me is silence's worst
enemy. There's no need for me to talk
thought why still sitting beside him all through.
All I did, was to smile and to eat, cursed.
As he didn't cease to talk, thinking to find
right word to define him being patient
and finally the right word came to mind
not chatty, not verbose, it's Loquacious.

I open my bleary eyes,
To the beautiful sheaf of sunlight.
Book lying beside me sighs!
And whooshing sound of papers rant, as they fly by.
Baby! Why you left me without saying good bye!
What do I tell you about my epeolatry?
With people around, I can’t witter for too long.
My lust for the books is just too strong!
Slowly, I scud away at the first chance.
And skulk into books, before anyone’s glance.
Contentment latches the door; the silence is profound.
Books, joy and peace all around.
My books leave me spellbound.
Redolence of papers and ink so sound,
It creeps in like ethanol into my mind.
Fragrance of musty papers takes my charge, as it surrounds.
Inside my self is a loquacious place.
Cogent and scrupulous, solving mysteries with authors pace.
Don’t you think that I am a dolt!
It is just that the story, slowly unfolds.
Yes! I feel deeply, I feel fiercely.
Yes! I emend, I recapitulate and iterate.
Yes! I do read and re read.
Yes! I am a book worm and this is my treat.

Plain words sum
Warm now comes
Poise stills voice
Charm knows choice
Not much said
No words paid
Be still now
Joy knows how
Calm spree finds
Touch most kind
At verge gate
Greet wise fate
Not much said
Love gets paid
Too much talk
Waste of chalk
Be most kind
Tact be blind

Florida’s views ever so spacious
Trees dropping flowers, so audacious
Covering paths, looking vivacious
Tip toe carefully, ever gracious
Cavorting ducks, feeling flirtatious
Breeding instincts, ever tenacious
Nests of flowers, softly herbaceous
Alligators glide hugely predaceous
Rolling fish always voracious
Fishermen’s lures completely fallacious
