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

 

…

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.

[Neville]

[Chris Shaw]

[Paul Bell]

Let us think about the world for a change.

[Neville]

[AYVID N]

Let us all think about poetry for a change. It is why we are here in the first place. It is the panacea for all our spiritual wounds. Thank you for this insightful poem N.

[Neville]

Hey, thank you Divya for both the visit and the sound advice..............N

[AYVID N]

You are welcome :)

[emmajoy]

Being ignorant, have to ask, if this form of writing a specific one.. there's meter and yet not.. but through and through it has shape and resonance?

As to my word.. just one.. .. ' harmony,' perhaps, 'tolderance' undoubtedly, 'love' definitely,. Is there a word that provides a remedy for all ills?
'Miracle', perhaps@.

Such a challenging, finely laid post, Neville.

[Neville]

Many thank you's emmajoy, very much appreciated....Nevform, maybe!! I do use it every now & then, N

[emmajoy]

New Neville Form, me thinks. :)

[Neville]

Old maybe......

[emmajoy]

Neville Informed?.

[Neville]

That'll do nicely, thank you....

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Sleep? :p I guess I could do with some ;p

On a serious note, I think peace is the word alright. Sometimes tuning out the bad things and thinking positive is a good therapy.

Your title grabbed my attention 'cause I have a piece titled 'A way with words' which I edited yesterday. Maybe it's an interesting coincidence :)
I enjoyed the read 😊

[Neville]

The similarity is certainly coincidental. Glad you got something from my similarly entitled scribbles. Neville

[Gee]

Tolerance. The world is an awfully fractious place at present. A few more should bite their tongue, count to ten ( or more) and respect the fact all have an opinion.
Morning Neville, enjoyed the read. Hope all is well out West

[Neville]

Thank you kindly Gee, I do appreciate and value your opinion. The West is great, so much to do and see, its just the old bones is a problem....N

[Gee]

Calcium by the bucket load may or may not help !!!

[Neville]

Ha ha, ouch!

[Mrudula Rani]

We can always talk about poetry! some times silence speaks volumes , and just a glance gives assurances, and a touch tells tales !

[Neville]

Thank you dear friend. I think you have just written a fine poetic review here and worthy of posting elsewhere.....Cheers, N

[Mrudula Rani]

You are very kind. always have perfect words to say, my favorite thing to do is just pop in and read your works.

[Neville]

I will not object but there are many here who are more deserving..N

[Mrudula Rani]

WC is a world of words, the writers are amazing here. It is human nature to pick favorites isn't it?- Mrudula

[Neville]

Yes of course, thank you.....Neville

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, let's add peace....it rings with the combination of all of those good things you mention---
i am from the peace generation...and relate so much to this....
this poem reminds me of something Steven Martin once said---talking about the new novel he had just written....."this is the first novel in which i started to use verbs; my writing has really started to pick up"---
j.

[Neville]

Thank you jacob for checking these words out, your time and your consideration are both very much appreciated.........Oh' and yes, I do think we should give peace a chance, or at least I wish we would.....N
