Fonts and Guises

Neville

Fonts and Guises

 

There are some men

Who need wars

To hang their egos on

 

Bullies

Most of them

Although together

 

We might

Just break them

Cleanly

 

Then there are poets

Who need nothing more

Than bread and words

 

Where then

Might they

Hang their hero’s

 

Where better than the

Consciences and pages

Of both readers and sages

 

Tis true then

Truth comes in a

Range of fonts and guises

    You exist, and very actively, in the tradition of wisdom imparted by the poetic sage.

      Ohh, hail fount of all wisdom (is that you, or partly so.?!).
      Well, there's something sort of psychological in fonts, I think, e.g. in church 'All join in the words in bold print'' and italics used as 'instructions', etc.
      Got headache now, thinking too deep this time of morning!

      • Neville

        Thank you Ste... Orchidee.. and just you be careful now...

      • Fay Slimm.

        Yes true heroes exist to better others and what better than using not swords but words. A truth indeed my friend..............

        • Neville

          Glad you see it my way... not surprised, but glad.... thanks Fay....

                    That range of fonts and guises is immeasurable in our world of words, as you show us all Neville.
