Breaking a Myth About Bad Words
Quick
while I can’t stop
writing
and I’m just here
waiting
to mop up
any stragglers,
as they either rush
by or they
float around me ..
So please,
feel free to ask any
questions ..
Okay, but only
if you are certain ..
Then tell me
about bad words ..
Sure,
but let’s just get
one tiny
thing straight first
shall we ..
There is no such
thing as
a bad word
in its own write ..
It’s only
those people who
variously
abuse and then
who tend to misuse
them who are
really that bad ..
Now where to begin
oh’ yes,
let’s start with hate ..

Ooh those bad words... don't you just hate it! ðĪŠððŧððïļ
............... Maybe .. ðð
Fido says to me - Nooooo, don't start with hate with KP. Start with putting her down a peg or two though! lol.
Thanks Orchidee ðð
I used to hate vegtables as a child now I love them. I guess things change. Sometimes old loves become something else and vice versa. Loved the poem
That'll do nicely my friend .. many thanks indeed .. Neville
A very valid message about how we use things, like they say about dogs, no such thing as a dangerous dog, it is the owners that are dangerous, enjoyed the read
Do they say the same thing about great white sharks and poisonous spiders by any chance .. am just asking on behalf of a friend .. Cheers my friend .. Neville
You are very welcome
Love this poem...the word play write/right...and also the ending. OMG...the ending! Yes. This is more than elementary, my dear Neville, this is pure brilliance. Well done, friend! ðđð
I am delighted you chose to linger for a little while .. Yet still, you are far too generous my friend .. Neville
I never met a word I didn't like. Even swear words have their charm. I love the way you arrange your words to say such remarkable things, as in this poem.
You are so write Bella .. about words I mean .. and I am so grateful to you for this visit and your continuing support & friendship .. Neville
You're a regular riot herein! Hahaha! Oh how I love this! You can begin with that four-letter word and I'll sidle over to that larger, oft misused word jealousy. Ah, way too fun! Thank you so very much! Wittily rendered with perfect tact and excellent imagery, not to mention a playful poignancy.
Thanks Missy .. funny you should mention the J word .. I find that particular human emotion & the G word too extraordinarily interesting .. Bless U .. N
Excellent write Nevilie
Thank you sir T36 .. Neville
You're welcome
Good words Neville, there are not many bad words in your words. Have I worded enough. LOL
Wordy.
You are a bit of a Wordy Woodpecker aint'cha .. Cheers .. Neville
An intriguing write, Neville. Makes you think about the actual words themselves. As you suggest, hate and words like that should be more offensive than swear words. Nicely done.
That reads like a thumbs up for sure .. am glad you were able to respond as was my hopeful intention .. thank you.. Neville
