don't gimme words
by Charlie Morganmy next feat is to write
poetry with no words;
they're so troublesome.
an ice age of disappointment
can be found in a can of words;
people fumble with them.
did he mean this? or that?
is he talking metaphorically?
or for real? do i believe him?
is she talking of women wiles?
or is she talking about flowers?
gimme an expression, no words.
words are good for hiding [in].
something is gossamer, [not filmy].
a sky is cerulean, [not blue]
and pellucid,[same old, same old.]
a twinkled eye walks away, sated.

| Posted by A. Paige White on 08/26/09 at 02:23 PM Now that's my kind of title to a poem! And as usual the body of it doesn't disappoint either. Oh the sparks that fly when words collide... Somebody in Mississippi loves your sweet childlike spirit. And your words. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 08/26/09 at 02:48 PM Great write Charlie. We throw words around as if we knew what they meant and we do. That's why we argue so much. |
