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 :)
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.

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

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 😊

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.

Calcium by the bucket load may or may not help !!!
We can always talk about poetry! some times silence speaks volumes , and just a glance gives assurances, and a touch tells tales !

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"---
