put a pearl in your pocket
then go on and hock it
books are fine and so are you
listen to the inner chimes when blue.
about such a time their is a place
we will live in the love of heavens grace
chewing on a blade of grass
better things will come to pass
spilling out words from left to right
come on and sing with all your might
look right through the things that stink
from now on we'll live in the pink
our lives in general are very good
see it now as you surly would
with the soul be hardy
lets all have a fundamental party
on our honor we be the doners
of a more sensical way of life

Good so far beyond good
how right you are. you can never be to good.
thanks for the criticism. and favorite.
Pauly you are full of surprises (good ones I might add) and you are absolutely right: Let's have a party! Not so sure about "sensical" since it does not seem to be an 'official' word yet in the English language. But who cares, if you want to have a sensible way of life, don't become a writer, become an accountant!
the reactions I get differ from one to another. sensical is a word I created. it seemed to fit with what I wanted. sensible is a word I did not want. it sounds to common to me. you are right who cares. I'm not a writer I'm a poet, and it is allowed. I cant count on anything so I will not become an accountant. I'm not to good with numbers. I can add and subtract in my head. nothing else.
all the poetry books I read their are many who made up their own words. I don't want to become a poet, I already am. this is constructive criticism okay no big deal. peace be with you.
Completely agree with you, and I apologize for calling you a writer instead of a poet. I consider myself a humble writer, have not climbed to that elevated stature of a poet yet, but hey, it might happen one day.
And btw, Shakespeare invented a lot of words, so you are in good company! 🙂

love this beautiful little gem onepauly. love the style, love the passion, love the words you written. there is a word in the oxford dictionary called 'nonsensical'. 'sensical' has not yet been made a word but pretty soon I'm sure it will. great write by the way.
hello kevin, first true poets don't have to spell any words correctly. that's why its called poetry. we deal with a lot of sensitive issues. and if we make up a word that will work quite well with what we are doing to make it work better then if we used proper English. (by the way my mother was born and raised in bormouth England). I have three electronic dictionaries by my side always. if you don't spell a word right, type in the way you think it is spelled. and the dictionary will search and come up with the word spelled correctly. and it will tell you the meaning of the word. so much for that. sensical is a word I made up to enhance my work. look in poetry books and you'll find many poets that create their own words. that's why its called poetry. writing a book is something different and proper spelling is required. just don't mix them up. when I went to grammer school I got all A's in English. sometimes its tough. that's why I got those dictionaries. I think i'll read your new post now. peace be with you. onepauly
peace to you also my brother. I use 'Grammarly' for my spell checking, it's free to download and free to use. yeah, I understand where you are coming from. I think we all come across moments where we wish there were more words on offer. language has always grown and I believe it always will. new words appear from time to time, that may be a long time but they do turn up. look how ar it's come already and yet, look how much farther it has to go. thank you for your tips and I'm sure I will come across 'sensical' very soon in poetry readings.

very good and very positive write,
This is the best one ever. You are shining your light throughout your brain. Awesome.
wow! I didn't expect it was that good. the quality of my poetry will take another step down. I'm afraid. but I will try to climb those steps again.
Hahaha! You are good and will find your way.
