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

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.

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.)

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**

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

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

You're very welcome, Kelly! Thank you for your warm welcome and alluring poetry. :)
This is lovely and maybe it's a stretch but it feels like it's in the style of Jacob.
