is better found in the voices of lovers.

merely play with words and
Artists
search the canvas for visual seduction....

That just makes the reader really enjoy;
Every line is as frolic as a toy,
The melody is like the song of birds....

Opens the wonders in your mind

handed

but then its just a play on words
probably using the worlds most evil person

tell me now
do I
      protest
      too much?
words
    of alarm
    and
    metaphor,
in puns
     and
     play on words,
synonym
   of
      arrested
      stress
in
device
      & trick...

Paronomasia

Rhetoric usage—
A pun, a true play on words!
Shades of confusion . . . 
	Ditto sounds, other meanings . . . 
Phonetic pun poetic!

Mind what you say lest things go wrong,
Opt thus each day to live most strong;
Voice happy play with words that sing,
Etch on the way a touch you long.

I play with words like game 
I don't mind who you blame
Because i'm not ashame
Since i came 
Peace i spend
unite i lend
In my mind
To left a lasting peace behind 
I spent my wing 
Go around the world to sing
Peace i bring 
In every spring...

Thoughts of death.
Life roulette.

Play with fire.
With ones desire.

Beyond the norm.
Not to conform.

Quiet, Talk.
Quick-witted, jabberwock.

Past, present.
future judgement.

Chained domain.
Free reign.

Love to hate.
Soul checkmate....

Prize thus the play of words that stay,
Ink thus each day fond charms that sway;
Note feel that lays a mood and glimpse,
Keep touch the way your soul grooms say.

Listen to poem:

A long piece of string
is shorter when knotted.
Memories entwined, enraptured 
are captured, confined 
to remind in locket.
Held dangling over the heart,
on string tied behind 
the neck, knotted

You say you appreciate my imagination and play on words
this attitude of mine needs maintaining
as much as a sound needs to be heard
the opinion of what my work does fascinates me 
so this poem's from me to you
a heartfelt thank you
with complete sincerity...

The book keeper
mops the slush pile,
dusts paragraphs,
adding a vase of clarity
on the table of contents,
creates settings
for the ghost writer
to slow down
run-on sentences,
mends torn sheets -
Oh, tearsheets…
Anyway,
in the end
wraps a nice soft cover
around everything....

hurt
      howls
courage
      is crushed
feelings 
        fashion
and alters
       perspective:
vanity's vision
blind to 
          wisdom 
empty of 
         endeavour 
embraces 
        self-love
lives an illusion 
in 
mirages's 
          mirror 
of 
time & 
           space...

Rudolf was in his Tundra cave with his wife
He poked out his nose and said, its raining outside
She said, are you sure it is rain, it looks like snow from here 
Certainly he said, Rudolf the Red knows rain dear 
I have a very soaking nose
And if you ever asked me
I could even tell you when it snows...
