Carpe Diem

I have lots of words to sow

the problem is that I should know

which patch I should avoid or not

or else my fertile words will rot.

Some speak in waterfalls of waste

just babbling in endless haste

not speaking light in what they say

not learning how to seize the day.

My foolish words I'll try to kill

and hopefully one day I will

see the gardens that have grown

from seeds that I have wisely sown.

I love the wisdom behind your words
Silence is gold because somewhere in the back of your mind you must be placing together all the words that matter not just the ones to be simple used and trashed out

I like this one especially for its worthy rhyme scheme. It conveys a good bit of practical wisdom as well. Big kudos from me.
