My Pompous Wordy Brother
We were in an embroilment, he said
This weird word lingered all night in my head
The next day I spent time in the dictionary.
I blame my pompous, wordy brother, Larry.
Why couldn’t he have used the word argument instead?
Always putting on airs in front of our cousin, Ned.

Often too much flash
and not enough substance
I mean, I like dessert as much
as the next guy...but please be
mindful, of ones own poetic
waste/waist-line
Of course, each to his/her lyric
own; therefore, I speak not to
those already Committed~ but
to those at the ledge, contemplating
the Writer's Leap -- whether not~ or
to Poem?

Wordy
Match and sketch
Words laid plain,
In brisk fetch,
Writes now gain.
Words can tell
In deep sighs,
Stretch fond spell,
Live bold highs.
Writes tell much
In crisp nudge,
Feel how touch
Bears no grudge.
Words said plain
Can frame zest,
Works not vain
Sculpt pure fest.
Now and here
Face the fact,
Look to cheer
To paint act.

Wordy
If you must know
Feel words now urge,
A certain show
As touch moves surge.
If you must see
Feel taste that shows,
What tale can be
As sense meets flow.
If you must act
On cause most right,
Match you own fact
With heart's clear light.
If you must live
Learn well the way,
Bring what you give
To bless each day.

Wordy Wordless
Listen now to be
One with fine fancy
Wordy wordless stance
Glimpse of empty glance
No one now recalls
Your messy footfalls
Winging on your way
Leaving this lost play
Candle on odd cake
Still a mindful fake
Too much and too late
Clash through crimson gates
Mellow feels hollow
Dash of tomorrow
In the end we see
Taunting trying spree

My Wordy Wedding Cake
Today it is the day
To choose my wedding cake
I love anything to do with words
So my decision was easy to make
I went off to the baker’s
And they had lots of styles
But I had my heart set on a cake
Adorned with Scrabble tiles
It was to be iced with red fondant
And the letters would be white
With the

Wise is the man who knows the why,
Opt for sure ease when poise curls how;
Reap thus bold plan with cheer that sighs,
Deed lives sure peace right here and now;
Yes to the dance in joy and fest.
Worth comes to show a poignant grace,
Orbs of thrill's trance in daring zest;
Reap in deep flow a happy face,
Keep faith

Wordy Rain
Repeat
I'm drowning in repetition
Blank
I'm drawing a blank
I see the words cascading down like heavy rain
As they crash down
my luck seems to fall upon the ones without connection
ones without relevance
How can a sparrow and sea coincide
Unless that sparrow makes a trip across the sea
to feel an endless summer breeze
unless that sparrow nests upon a log
drifting helplessly,

Wordy
Touch beyond feel, touch tender thrill;
Oomph fronts appeal, oomph hurls goodwill.
Sense special touch, sense happy mood;
Poise joins as much, poise feeds sure good.
Ask to be wise, ask to be sure;
Ply sweet surprise, ply kind allure.
Live laughter loud, live funny daze;
Yield all things proud, yield to life's maze.
Line after line, line moving time;
Rhymes sounding fine, rhymes

Words on paper
Thoughts in sure log
Journal entry
Words in reverse
Wedges forfeit
Sensorial notes
Words in poetry
Bruising of heart
Pain fossillised
Words of all sorts
Encumbrances
Zigzag crisscross
Words streaking
Electronic symbols
Marking new meaning
Words crying
Let grief be brief
Stop loitering
Words forfeit
Gain new meaning
Obscure notions
Words on a page
Paper ink strains
Collision course
Words attain life
Zest in a quest
Ignorance overrides

Wordy healings
Your words heal me
Hot steams and cold chillings
Wordy healings
Ribs upset...Temp climbing ills
They hand healths to the brim
Wordy healings
Your words heal me.
