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

[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!

“in a Poor Richard font

Boom…mic drop. You rock with this clever, concise, soaring poem dear Kelley. Freedom to write, in or out of bounds, is freedom to fly free… Poetry and poets untethered. WC is the launching pad and you do it so proud. Reading in, out, and in between the lines of your Master Class writing is always a joy and a lesson in creation. You inspire and the words love you. So do I!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am overwhelmed...and deeply touched, Annette. I could never thank you enough for showering me with so much kindness and generosity. I love you, too, my friend!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

You are so welcome my Kelly! Pebs says Hi to Ollie. xo

[Kelly Scheppers]

Ollie says hi and gives head bumps! ; )

[AYVID N]

I love the way you present your poetry. Its beautiful and speaks to the reader. So rich in appeal.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Divya. It's always good having you here!

[AYVID N]

Its always my pleasure dear Kelly. ⚘

[C. M. Miller]

How is that you purchased at least 3 boxes full of cut out alphabet letters and threw them all up into the air, and then watching them scatter onto your table randomly to create this kaleidoscope of a poem, ever shifting patterns . . .

[Kelly Scheppers]

Wow, that's some review, Mr. Miller! Thank you! You've always been one to flatter and impress, so why does it surprise me?

[C. M. Miller]

I surprise myself at times, and then I go,
"Huh?"

Basically, a beautiful poetic flow chart of how it is done though what is missing is the secret that you possess that gives each piece its own heartbeat, its own smile, its own wonderful way about it that allows it to stand out in a crowd. What you didn't teach us is how to infuse the "Kelly Factor". Maybe someday I will learn that part. : )

[Kelly Scheppers]

My dear Will, I really don't think you need to learn anything from me that you don't already know. But thank you for making my day with such a lovely, endearing review! Thank you - with all my heart!

[Dara]

This is so creative. A very clever catchy poem that sums up the building blocks involved in most writing with a special stamp that has ‘Kelly’ written on it. I can imagine you had a lot of fun with this one!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I did, I truly did! How funny! I always get anxious too, right before I post a poem. I'm like a proud mom and my poems are my kids. Lol, thanks so much, Dara. I like your new avatar!

[Betty Hermelee]

I love the way you brought these words to life, a parody of poetic terms and styles which poets use in various forms.... My poetry is almost mostly simple imagery, sometimes metaphors .... no capital letters, no periods, commas, sometimes.......you really know how to knock out such meaningful script with so few words....excellent brevity!
Best, B

[Kelly Scheppers]

I deeply appreciate that, Betty. Thank you for the kindness of your words!

[Betty Hermelee]

You're very welcome Kelly!
Best, B

[Chris Shaw]

Hi Kelly. I pondered on how each of us writers present our words and how varied we all are. My own style has changed quite significantly. I no longer concentrate on punctuation, my earlier formatting much more traditional on the eye. As a reader I go with the flow. You expertly sum up here so much in your usual knock out brevity.

very nicely done

Chris

[Kelly Scheppers]

So glad to hear that, Chris. Yes, we are quite varied in our styles, but the love of poetry will always unite us! Thank you, Chris!

[Sami Khalil]

To each, his or her style. We all prefer different formatting. I like the traditional ways, but others like freedom from all. Whatever works or affects the reader in many ways.
Excellent poetic summation of a specific way.

[Kelly Scheppers]

It is never my intent to offend anyone with non traditional ways. Thank you for your presence here, Sami. Nice car!

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well said. Thank you kindly. You are welcome

[Ken e Bujold]

a modernist tour de force. clever, but too much so; philosophical, in just the right ways; sassy and bold, all the way. I adore the bleeding syllables and nouns, what life's all about. bueno bueno bueno

[Kelly Scheppers]

Was it Hemingway who said something in the effect of a writer bleeding each time he sits at the typewriter? I think it was, but I'm sure someone out there will correct me. Thanks so much, Ken!

[Ken e Bujold]

hem is credited with saying it, but never did actually say it. the original is open to debate. Two most likely candidates I have ever come across are Paul Gallico or Red Smith, i opt for Gallico
