A Syntax of Words

A Syntax of Words

                      

 

it is here

in a staccato format

where my muted words

come into viable existence

here

in a Poor Richard font

bleeding syllables and nouns

with lilting metaphors

all in a syntax of words

void of punctuation

Reviews

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

The greatest blessing of all is that we have so many formats, fonts, and formations from which to choose. There is enough room for individuality and appreciation in them all. None of us are the same so our journey is different, our destinations uncertain. Yours is certainly greatness. Well done.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am most grateful to be among so many here that love the art of poetry. I believe we help to inspire, encourage and nurture each other every day. Thank you, Linda! My best to you!

[Cassie]

I am glad I get to read your words. Thank you for being here

[Kelly Scheppers]

Having the blessing of friends like you through the years has been my greatest gift. I am fortunate for having you here, Cassie! Thank you so much.

Hello, Kelly!
A poem about writing poetry... AH! The freedom of no wrong way! (But it only works if you know the right way... and, milady, you do!)
When I taught creative writing, I banned adjectives, adverbs, passive voice, any mention of "soul," "heart" and ANY word that did not add to the overall effect. My goal was poems like this... (Though, they were not really ready for no punctuation.)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your compliment flatters me beyond words. I am quite pleased with this one myself. Thank you, Vol!

[Vol]

Aw, gee... It is a fine thing to be amongst such agreeable minds attached to great hearts... (breaking my own rules)

[andrew mitchell]

You have painted the essential ingredients to a beautiful poem, so eloquently said in ink.

[Kelly Scheppers]

It may seem out of the ordinary to say, but I wrote this in ode of my muse. I often wonder at times where it comes from! Thank you, Andrew!

[Re-Pete]

i always enjoy your tightly knitted words and imagery that say and feel oh so much. so clever, speaking volumes as only you could do ... :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm proud of my work, so I thank you most kindly for that, Pete!

[Lydia Shutter]

We don't need no stinkin' punctuation! :) Your words are always lovely....no matter which font you choose. Your words should never be muted, my friend. They should scream from the rooftops! Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thanks, Lydi. Having your perspective always means so much to me...always will!

[Will Neill]

Hello Kelly, how are you? Its been such while since I've been here. And who do I find top of the poem tree-your wonderful self of course and rightly so. Loved your play on words and the structure, void of punctuation which works well -sharply detached. Take Care. Will

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your presence here has been missed, Will. Always a pleasure seeing you. Thank you!

[River]

I love this! It's very clever and resonates with me as I feel like poetry helps bring my muted words to life as well. Poetry is such a lovely form of expression and I'm enjoying reading your pieces.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are too kind, River. Thank you for the warmth of your words, and welcome to the WC!

[River]

You're very welcome, Kelly! Thank you for your warm welcome and alluring poetry. :)

[Ciara]

This is lovely and maybe it's a stretch but it feels like it's in the style of Jacob.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm deeply flattered you think so, Ciara. Perhaps after all these years his caliber of writing is beginning to rub off on me. One can only dream! Thank you, kindly!

[Ken Simm.]

Excellent and clever piece of literary whimsy. I love it.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You will always be one I hold in the highest esteem of poets here. Thank you, Ken!

[Ken Simm.]

You flatter me Kelly.

[Ken Simm.]

Could I gently suggest a story of mine you may like? No pressure to read but I think you will enjoy it.
