“Brevity is the soul of wit”, Shakespeare

Gangway

A lot can be said in few words

little can be said in a lot

terse on you, terse on me

terse is tell all minceability

dis expando sidetrack talk

abbreviate the communicate

life says brief it up, not beef it up

gangbuster art words do it

when minuses add the way too much

subtract addendums down

practice perfects the perfect.

5th SA (say about): Superfluities: excesses should have expiration dates;

the times by which extraneous extras exit!

Always Addible,

If you like parts of speech, vowels, conjunctions, and consonants and the interesting ways they shape thought, suggest, communicate and record, then you probably love poetry.

Great descriptions and explanations beg the colorful, provocative free use of language.  The calling forth of the written word and/or poetic muse starts revealing relationships with old ways pen and paper or new ways electronic keyboards. Spirited accounts take on more emphasis, more life, more va va voom when given content guides and poetic structures.

Sometimes rhyming occurs naturally, sometimes it’s forced and sometimes it just won’t happen. Often, free verse is a new word wardrobe try on. Either way, we’re freed to think more and higher about things. The value of these exercises is immeasurable. We gain clearer perspectives, are able to see ourselves better and understand our ways and means on a deeper level.  Our lives are enriched by exposure to the best place to be when we feel our best and say and do the right things the best way we can.  That place is poetry’s own somewhere exceptional.

                               Poet’s Conundrum

Over under crisscross doubt is where conundrums dwell

in the outs of circumfit demitered words unjell.

Poets phrase the way they will and not one stays on track

mumbo jumbo raking waves course, odd clutched, up and back,

ideates mesh in other dumb, sequestered close together,

emotions strained so hard become sheer hostage in this weather.

Clam-jam-fries mock logic’s block, sense empty chatter prattles.

Shaking brains to think unfurled just doesn’t stop the rattles.

O.K., good, well, fine, alright, when it has to be that way,

confusions crash into themselves ‘til meaning has a say.

And then it does, oh boi-yoi-yoing, after gyrated minds are sore,

a self-reliant confidence can break through doubting’s door.

Cast away the two ticket twist, throwing perception’s wit aside.

Write the poem the way you want and focus on the ride.

4^th S A  (say about): POETRY:  composition characterized by elevated, imaginative and passionate verse.

After  Memorial  Day, we celebrate and commemorate all summer long, with the holiday spirit propelling us finally into a Halloween mode.   At that time, then, we’re made aware that the Christmas season is just around the proverbial corner.  We love to celebrate special occasion significance in as many ways as we can invent and promote.  It’s happy this day, happy that day and usually and very importantly somebody’s happy birthday every day.   And summertime makes it easy to plan and execute happy day special eventing.

Commemorating is a chance to feel good about remembering to acknowledge the good and to do good.  The good goes on to crescendo in finale where our end goods get oh, goody goody even gooder.  It’s a good thing to enjoy the good spreadability of good, like yummy good icing on yummy good birthday cake.  Good news cancels out and /or negates any holiday or birthday blues that may attach themselves and occur unwillingly.  When we make things good, everything becomes all good and the happy good stands out.

                                                       GOT SALT

Your act of coming into life was a birr, a spin, a whirr

witnesses were overjoyed to experience your forceful entry

place of birth seeming same as origin.

All of a sudden there you were front and center

per thousand persons number one.

There was heritage in your foremost cry, a temper wailing joyous ascent

into the positive universe of first breath air,

your salted beginning a right acquired, your inheritance a natural gift.

The anniversary of this your day will justly remain precious forever,

you embody two grandiose intimate influences

coming together to form miraculous you.

You’re prominently loved by everyone, your rootstock divinely created.

You are the you everybody recognizes

you know who you are, belated or current,

and you have no secondary stand in.

Happy, happy birthday you!

3^rd S A (say about):  YOUNIQUE, before, during and after Happy Birthdays all you unequaled and matchless originals.

In Like Kind,
