Away With Words

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

 

…

   

Author's Note

Remember this is open to all, so no naughty words ya hear........

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.

Hmm don't normally mention it till November. I stand reprimanded :)

[Anjeline]

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 :)

[Neville]

I am more than happy to run with that.. thank you dear Anjeline :)

[Lyn Anderson]

and in that instant
she loved him
for not what he said
but what he'd never do ...

[Neville]

a distant love
remote but true
from her to him
and him to you...

[Lyn Anderson]

blue blushing teardrops
falling one by one
for everything he means to her
for moments they've never done

[Neville]

in micro seconds fleeting
they flush in synchrony
each stroke
a macrocosm
read morein micro seconds fleeting
they flush in synchrony
each stroke
a macrocosm
in perfect harmony

[Lyn Anderson]

something bigger
than either
ever knew

[Neville]

now dont that feel good.....
:)

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

[Neville]

I could not agree more... In general terms, I dont think we feel enough, at least men often dont... thanks for reinforcing the belief in something that is so fundamentally important but so often disregarded...... NUGs a plenty on their way.... N:)

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

[Neville]

I think you may well have something there.. thank you Aurora

[Aurora]

I think I was rather short with you earlier. Trust me, I don't mean any malice. Just the brusque way I speak sometimes.

[Neville]

No worries, but thanks anyway & true..

[lightsong]

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 ;)

[Neville]

What can this old geezer say in response and send to the G Girl other than a whopping great big thank you on the back of a big smile :) and for what it's worth, I'm glad we have stumbled in life together... Neville

[lightsong]

tell Mr. Geezer that he deserves it all and deserve even more :)

[Neville]

I will when he finally stops blushing :)

[lightsong]

G is :) ing too~

[Neville]

now dont that feel good :)

[Norman 223]

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.

Norman

[Neville]

You my dear sir Norm are far too bloomin kind for words... but he thanks ya for it big time..... Neville

[Ted Kniffen]

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.

[Neville]

uncommon sense does it for me every time.... Bless ya Ted a much appreciated visit sir..... Neville

[J]

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??

[Neville]

Your contribution has been acknowledged j and is considered appropriate. Thank you for taking part.....Neville

[Great Aunt Astri]

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.

[Neville]

Many thanks indeed Great Aunt Astri, much appreciated & for what it may be worth, there are a couple of other 'interactive' scribbles among my several pages here. All Good Things, Neville
