Away With Words

Neville

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, weather and sex

Let’s all think about ……………........for a change

Feel free to add your own word in the space above

    Aphasia?
    Voicelessness?
    Emptiness?
    Apathy?
    Powerlessness?

    Oh so many words could fill that void.
    It reminded me of a poem I wrote.



    • Neville

      Crikey a whole queue of em.. thank you for participating and indulging me so..... N

      • sylviasearcher

        You were indulged?

        You made me think of a better word

        Creme egg

        • Neville

          yum yum, how do you like yours?

          • sylviasearcher

            A lady never tells!

            • Neville

              I know how I like mine....

              • sylviasearcher

                How?

                • Neville

                  straight out the fridge..

                  • sylviasearcher

                    Neville, creme eggs do not belong in a fridge!

                    They need room temperature, so that when the tongue greets the tip of the shell, the chocolate slowly melts away, to reveal the sticky sweetness inside which mixes in with the delicious melted chocolate and then...

                    But you knew that!

                    What fun is a creme egg that's been in the fridge?

                    • Neville

                      None whatsoever when compared against one at room temp when one's tongue greets the tip of the shell, and the chocolate slowly melts away, to reveal the sticky sweetness inside which mixes in with the delicious melted chocolate and then...
