Idle Talk

Idle talk

Senseless droning

Narcissistic and dreaded moaning

Stop your nonsense

Silence your tongue

Fill with mud

Your exhausted lungs

Speech is right

But you have wronged

The way you talk is nonsense

Prolonged

I know you hear me and understand

I hear your silence is on demand

If you must talk, let it be legible

Not speak crap, speak intelligible

For words are sacred, use them scarcely

Don't let slip and use them carelessly

"Fill with mud / Your exhausted lungs"

I really feel drawn to this poem. And in a way, it's a little funny, too. Eloquent for four blocks, then all of a sudden a very impatient "Not speak crap, speak intelligible". If a sense of humor was implicit, it was definitely found out. The words you use create a sort a pleasant cacophony (not to contradict myself). Words such as sacred, scarcely, carelessly, prolonged - hardly melodic, but absolutely perfectly embedded into your work.

Fantastic work, Alexander. I look forward to more.

Thanks for the review. I appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I don't pretend to know a lot about poetry and I don't think you need to, to be a good poet.
But now I feel like I need to know more so that I can see what you see in my work.
