You try to teach but don’t listen,

Threw up that riddle

Tossed it to a wordsmith, I win....

Equations on the back of my hand
Science on steamed windows
Dirty love letters on white vans
Sparklers spell your name out...

Words are unlikely a medium
To paint the paradise
They say
How far blindfolded
Towards the wordsmith
They may be
I can see a sun melt
Like glacier
On north eastern horizon
Of my words...

A paper lantern of a girl;
Dim halo hazy, stitched thin by needlework.
A precision seamstress of darker dreams--
Freedom is a luxury, not
A privilege.

Intense concentration
Playful muse untethered release
Study missives, marveling at their worth
The erasing, chasing, pacing
Challenging word play self

So will I win this one?  Er nope!

Berth Write/limerick


There was a young wordsmith from Perth
who when writing would question the worth
of words from the thesaurus
he so hoped would awe us
though placed in a substandard berth

Memories rest,
Flowerterrible, in beds of summer
Soils. Each petal a
Struggle of colour
Against grainy backbeats;
Come Autumn, the
Omnipotent spring goddess
Takes to crossing sidewalks.

A sailor's dream
To be plastered in Paris


The wax lays heavy on the bench
Ready to shape another wordsmith
Or mirror holding bard
The craftsman’s hand is aching
with creative need
Though of the last he should be proud
In  deed...

I am a word processor the child said.
I am a wordsmith.
I am a word dealer.
I am a word player.

I smiled at the child.
She continued.
I am a word hero.
I am a word expert.

I was so amazed by her six-year-old sassy confidence
That I had no words....

O tell me about a snoddy gumboot
Of a soul; black as Guiness -
A drinker of dirty water; a wordsmith,
A conjurer and fumbler; bearer of
Levity and pork sausages, a stout
Fellow with the learning as big as
The Cork and Kerry Mountains;
You thrown-out words of Dublin......

Persistent insistence,
   Dragging pride like a shadow.
All tongue and flesh and distance:
Persistent insistence
To previously unpracticed resistance-
   Oh, to be so shallow.
Persistent insistence,
   Dragging pride like a shadow.

"8 Lines"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

As a man
As a Child Of God
As a citizen of the Earth
As a fan of natural Beauty
As a wordsmith for nearly 26 years
As a son who Loves his mother dearly
As someone who is awed by their sexy frames
Women will forever have my undying Love and respect...

Touched by you, I am
Eclipsed:

Wanton, we gather superficially at the
Center of warm flesh,
Decoding one another's fractured forms.

I feel, for all purposes, in a 
Self-defeating sense, Desire
Of tidal proportions, an Oceanic
Onrush, only to be drowned in.

My Love
It's gaping maw insatiable,
Crawls trembling toward lurid
Sunlight.

It is a bottom feeder;
An aphorism for suppressed passion.

That amorphous wretch:
Refusal to cease equating
Suffering and nonsense,
To love and the masquerade-

I shiver at the thought.

There is a girl I really miss
I know she is a superb wordsmith
I miss her every night and day
I hope that she can find a way
To write the words that only she can find
That let her speak her own mind
As she is my favourite
Poetess

To EP... I am missing you my friend... Please write again soon

Pulled a pail of words
From the well of my heart
Painstakingly stringed
The words in order
Create a web of thoughts
With these strings
Entangled in this web
Are my thoughts and emotions
All my imaginations
All the life’s lessons
Juggling words all day
Juggling thoughts all day
That’s how I, a wordsmith
spend each day…...

I mince my words,a Wordsmith I am,
believe me and be part of my scam,
there is no truth, there is no lie,
just a Wordsmith of words am I,
I am not a trumpeter,a Wordsmith I am,
my music is prose and poetry Ma'am,
I don't stand by my word,for I set the word free,
they're but drops of water in a deceit-filled sea....
