A tight-lipped President, Calvin Coolidge
Never prone to very much verbiage
He kept his interviews brief
Causing reporters much grief
Now we pine for his kind ~ That's a truage

Despite living
supplying myself with cement
, steel and disgust...
Despite building me
daily verbiage walls,
I'm in a light spirit...
always ready to burst
in songs and laughter...!

Deficit of

Deficit of

Avoid needless
complexity
Say it
straight out
Frost and

Set the rules
down
Between meaning
and verbiage
The idea
is king
Sharpen
the point
The message
— the thing

Have you built
a cathedral
with language
unblessed
Adopting an
Angel
your spirit
redressed
Have you
filtered the
verbiage
with water Divine
The Savior
within
you
— still waiting to find

What good is a poem,
if not to incent or inspire
Just flowering verbiage,
growing out of the mire
What comes from our verse,
if not truth yet released
Each word to enlighten
—in beacons of speech

Mere anarchical obstinacy
Is their sad anthem all over;
Stubbornness steeped in lunacy
Is their sole claim to fame.
Who can stand their inane guises,
Their thoughtless mouthings tolerate?
Verbiage for verbiage’s sake is their vibe;
Sheer affection for baseless hate.

The thing
about rhyme
is you can’t help
but read it
The glue
in the verbiage
whose tonic
is needed
Uniting
each line
with the magic
of sound
Melding the
moment
as phrases
— surround

Some Poets use big words
to try and go
where they’ve been banned
And wander esoteric
into notions
barred to them
They layer on the verbiage,
hoping to become
what they are not
And bastardize the language,
running cold
and never hot

Expressions
of spirit
the music
plays on
Beyond any
verbiage
or words
come and gone
At high
elevations
each note
takes you up
To reach
into heaven
where feelings
conduct
As harp
strumming Angels
with harmony
strong
Play chords
of acceptance
to guide
— you along

This is verbiage
It is not a poem
And I'm not going to use
the word like, love, desire, entice,
tempt, enlighten, spirit, or soul
because this is NOT a poem
This is merely some verbiage
So, I'm going to use the words
however, therefore, I think, I
believe ( well maybe not);
the time is at...timeout..
Remember this is verbiage

Molehills To Mountains
Tom’s Thoughts
3/2/2020
When Politicians dare to interpolate,
Using verbiage to change how we relate.
All are drinking from a polluted fountain,
Trying to produce a “meadow muffin” mountain.
Without their utilizing a single steer,
They're causing our country's landscape to look drear.

Butterfly interrupted.
Fear grips the flowers
eaten by the winds.
I seek the guilt for
not walking on the dunes
to build a sky.
The cracked roof
lets in the rain. I
drench my driftwood.
One day a god will sit
on my altar to speak
to ailing mother-
earth hauling away
the burden of waste
of human verbiage.

V vaunts verbiage vociferously.
Visage viewed very vacuous
Vacillates varyingly,
Venting valentine versus violence
Vast, versatile, variant,
Vehement vituperations volunteered:
Voices voice virtuously
Voices voice vulgarly
V very veracious,
Versal vortices visualized,
Versal volages visualized,
V’s valedictory.

An elusive virtue drives the urge
for a bard’s excessive verbiage purge
The obscure phrase one seems to splurge
begins clear meaning to submerge
and song becomes a funeral dirge
as lovely phrases each diverge
One strives to make them all converge
by adding words to coax the merge
and blend them so they may emerge as
“Wow! Look at that beautiful sunset!”

I do not know?
Inspiration strikes,
Perspiration rife,
Takes a hold,
Yearning for footing.
Unexpected muse,
Self reflective tools,
She helps bring,
Healing and focus.
Charismatic tongue,
An automatic lunge,
From my minds eye,
To her purt lips.
I forgot a part of her,
Yet,
She knows a part of me,
Connected,
More so now than ever.
Thank you is,
Wasted verbiage,
I owe you though,
Gartered lineage.

I shared my florid words
about our torrid love
with an ardent lover,
who exclaimed propitiously
that they were astonishing;
then solicitously,
she asked me to elucidate,
how did this prestidigitation occur;
from whence did I extricate
these words of exultation,
these harmonic chords of verbiage,
that resonated so intimately
with her psyche.
When the real question is:
how did they find me?

I must face the dark Winter days ahead
I will try not to view them with dread
I wonder how many tears will be shed
how many ugly words must be said
I dig deep within for my soul to be fed
My spirit thrives and will never be dead
My mind is my own and I'll not be led
simply by what verbiage is said or read
My goal is to move forward without shaking my head
and to rest comfortably in slumber upon my bed

side by side
thick and thin
loquacious verbiage
spun from within
fighting a serpent
bastard hearted
mother's shame
venomous cretin
defending honor
battling for all
where are the troops?
why are we alone?
weathering this storm
typhoon tyranny
all the while
standing strong
heads high
chins up
eyes forward
middle fingers extended
I bash fist to chest
in much respect
as chivalry's alive
only one man left

Racist
By: Miracle Man
7/17/2019
Vocabularies store this word,
Which often inflames.
It’s become widely used verbiage,
In our political games.
It’s spewed each time,
It benefits a sensed need.
To propel their message,
Onto a liberal news feed.
“To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality
because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow”
William Faulkner

Lyric
Quicksilver flashback
frantic frontal lobe attack
thru the looking glass I find
shattered pieces of your mind
start stopping
stop starting
close your eyes
your lips are parting
say the verbiage
write it read it
you don't want it
you may need it
older heroes cringe before you
somehow children can't ignore you
golden marbles rolling rolling
go home now your bell is tolling
lost and found you
found and lost you
never know what love will cost you.

“feeling not thinking, soul with love linking ~
we attained God consciousness unblinking”
alas my soul soars
whispers sweet breaths of verbiage
breathing not words spoke
~
my heart beats soothing
thoughts of compassionate sweets
blank stares of beatings
~
so I see I saw
just Father speaks to my heart
my heart mind’s speaking

We much beleaguered gullible
With thoughts profound ubiquitous
Pretending verse self-culpable
Deliver sounds superfluous
With empathy spectacular
Depression filled material
We carve our soul’s vernacular
Into eureka serial
In pungent deep buffoonery
Displaying our naivety
Of verbiage extraordinary
(but don’t forget our bravery)
We enter contests frequently
Entreat unseeing providence
And brave constructive cruelty
To bolster our self-confidence
