My heart is quiet
My love for you at a simmer...
No poetic phrasing,
Only a quiet longing,
I want you still!

excess words...

from a
mental reflection...
that frames

a summation of...
thoughts wrt
all senses at once...

My heart is quiet!

My love for you at a simmer...

No poetic phrasing,

Only a quiet longing.

I want you still!

To know that in spite of all my stumbling
   My clumsy phrasing and other bumbling
So many of you have congratulated me on POTD
   And that's truly humbling in a most special way...

Ariana Grande, a gorgeous talented lady
A songbird from heaven, a voice smooth as gravy
Notes exquisite
Phrasing so delicate
Her sultry vibes are velvety and chocolaty...

so much depends
upon

a book unread
the cracks

of its binding
its word

its phrasing

so much depends
upon

theming of phrases
the meaning
of words

take care, take care...

So is the love of my heart;
She is soon to arrive;
One day she'll be by my side;
Phrasing with me- Hallelujah;
And we'll be as One;
Like the Father and the Son;

A poet who lived out in Anaheim
Tried his hand at mano a mano rhyme.
His phrasing: sublime;
Words turn on a dime,
But he misunderstood the paradigm.
If you don’t have time,
Then don’t do the crime.
He’s reformed now, and he’s back in his prime....

Some poems are true monuments,
some lower to the ground

Some verse is loaded, stacked, and piled,
some stored away till found

A phrasing here, a meaning there,
now where to put it all

As voices cry within the womb
—unborn, but still they call

Play this simple tune upon your spinet
so that I can know the notes well, my dear.
Restful music sounding sweet to my ear.
I am greatly eased and made charmed by it.
Home is truly most blessed by whole bit.
We sit listening while her tones are made clear.
Fine, well keyed, and gentle music we hear.
Showing perfect phrasing she's a great hit....

so the poem goes
along the nose
a proboscis bridging
along the ridge in
alphabets of aromas
mouthing wordy stomas
with stanza's scents
to write recompense
right between the eyes
seeing to a surprise
fleshing cheeky meter
poetic phrasing sweeter
'til lobed on ear and
lips whispered near in
recognizing expressions
facially i reckon

Words can have so many meanings
It pays to carefully choose what you say,
Lack of phrasing can reveal your leanings
Ill-chosen words will often make you pay.
Politicians quickly learn how to double-talk
Meaning exactly what they did not say,
Like a sidewalk drawing with colored chalk
Knowing a weepy denial will wash it away.

Lick Your Lips - Limerick

An old man chronologically aging                        
Ate foods quite gastronomically raging                  
He digested word soups                                       
With phonetic sound groups                                 
Which left him alphabetically phrasing

Sweetheart, view eternity by gazing
     love's forever in my eyes.
Visibles fade in forever's phrasing,
     though surely time enjoys encasing
          love's power of joy invisible,
               plus love's color brightly invincible.
You fear love is temporary,
     and, yes, we are ordinary,
        but surely our love's selflessness
               well enhances forever's own endlessness.
