Away With Words

Away With Words

A Poem by Neville
"

Something a bit different maybe. Come on, don't be shy now....

"

Away With Words

 

Away

 With words 

The wordsmith sighed

Discard all those verbs

Then leave your vowels outside

Let us write about love for a change

 

 

Aye

Away with words

Forget about your pride

The end is nigh the blank page cried

Why don’t we talk about peace for a change

 

 

Away

With words

Go take a walk outside

Forget politics, religion the weather and sex

Let us all think about …………….......for a change


Please feel free to add your own word in the space above

Shaped like a Christmas tree and then you invite your readers to place a gift of a word on it. An older poem and many of your readers have already placed words that I myself would have chosen. I will choose another. "Friendship". That is mine. When times get tough, your friends will sustain you. They will be there to help. Friends are priceless.
I like your interactive approach, it is novel, or maybe Neville.

Very nice and kind of Cool. I really liked the usage of away in every paragraph and I think for me the blank has " our feelings" as I have noticed that nowadays people feel something else and express something else. So I really believe we should create a atmosphere where everyone can share their true feelings and understand what they really want in their lives :)

in micro seconds fleeting
they flush in synchrony
each stroke

How I fill in your blank: "NOT THINKING!" (I love how the structure of your stanzas prompted many other possibilities, tho, before I landed on that). Sometimes it's better to just FEEL instead of thinking so much, (which we humans can be so very fond of doing). The rhythm of your lines feels like waves lapping up onto shore, ready to carry us away into a different realm (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

The pyramidal hierarchy of power, greed and social anathema. Well-gridded.

No worries, but thanks anyway & true..
my dearest dearest Neville! I'm more than happy to find my way into this earlier gem from You, You've spoken everything in these superb verses that I have nothing to add or to say, and at the same time, if I opened the door of talking I may spend hours addressing and discussing every single valuable thought You've presented to us. We are all poets who write, we must respect each other, each other's style, pen, and colour. we must send great beautiful messages to the world, of Love and spreading Love... Bless You my wonderfully beautiful friend, pleased that I've stumbled in life with You ;)

For me, Neville, I think the word could be "laughter".
Even serious thought requires a balance if it's not to be buried in prejudice and despair.
Your thoughts in this poem could persuade others to THINK, not wallow. Philosophy at its best.

Neville I would say that you've found a way with words...but if it is away with words then I would have none to contribute to your poem.
There are many to consider... 'uncommon sense' works for me.

A good write, Neville.

k okay, you've offered an alternative to discussion of [poetic] topics. Let's talk about "sadness" shall we? That's my word filling in the blank. mine. Those who do not acknowledge the sadness curl in the corner of startling awareness and wonder ..... what? me??

This IS something different. Interactive poems. You could set a trend here. My word for the empty space is REAL LIFE. In other words , action, not words! Nicely done.
