Not Just Any Words
Let not these words
Be confined to
Shelves drawers and attics
They are far too grand
For that
And such a fate
Would only serve to
Confound and complicate
Such matters...
Nor let them be
Weighted down or bound
By shells bells padlocks chains
Prejudices or muted palates
Such words must be
Held aloft and aired
For they truly do belong
In clouds and cathedrals...

A lovely and fresh invitation to let go our confines and shout words aloud in poetic abundance. A goody read of encouragement for the weekend my friend.- -and true.
thank you Fay and muchly so..... and of course true........ N
I feel a storming of Parliament coming on - I'll be there with you with my banner reading: RELEASE THE WORDS. Or something like that. Good un Neville.
Thank you sir Michael... much appreciated, as always... N
Aye sir, from the roof tops let the words ring out. Like the wind through the forest greenery. As an echo resounding through the eons of space. And louder still within our minds.
The word is with you N.
Bless ya DA and then some.. I had to hold tight to the arms of me chair when reading the note ya left up there....... N
A very motivational write, it reminds of this...
Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance
I don't know why it does
Brilliant write N!
🙂
What a lovely thing to say.. thank you so very bloomin much and true... Neville
It's a pity I might sing (probably will) in poetic abundance, but there ya go - can't be helped! Unless I'm gagged.lol.
thanks for both the visit and the warning... anyone out there got a gag handy....
I'm gonna be gushing - in poetic song - all luvvy and that!
make that a gag and a hammer would ya... cheers
Nail me shoes to the floor with that hammer, so I shall only be able to sing from one spot. Hey It's Lent in the church year. You given up those choccie biccies? I could give up singing for 40 days, yes?
I have not had a choc biccy for maybe 40 odd years...... I used to like them tho..
I\'m not mad on choccy now. Only to give myself a sugar rush if hungry, and then not plain choccy - yuk! You getting that petition going - 'Orchi to give up singing 40 days\'.
They will sail through the ether forever.
Thank you kindly good sir....
Indeed!
yes, absolutely......
