These fourteen WORDS are from the Readers Digest

"It Pays to Increase you Word Power"  UK Edition for

JUNE !  Classic Poetry consists of well chosen WORDS

located in a Poetic Structure ~ replete with Rhyme ~

Rhythm & Reason ~ Modern Poetry is also WORDS but

ill chosen and lacking all three ! Consequently the greater

your vocabulary (in your chosen language) the more erudite

your Poetry ! If you meet an unknown WORD on MPS ~

check it in a Dictionary and record it in a note book of

NEW WORDS ! You could increase your vocabulary by

over 500 new words in a Year !  Thanks BRIAN XOXOX

    A fine write Brian. Got headache now - anything over 3 syllables this time of the morning! Too much thinking. lol.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      THANKS STEVE ~ In your case I am preaching to the converted ~ Your poems are always structured and aptly worded ~ Yours BRIAN Don't forget to add a luxury (A pedal Organ ?) to my FUSION ~ B !

    • Michael Edwards

      A fine write and the note book vocabulary is a great recommendation.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks MICHAEL for your encouragement ! I like a challenge and it this case it was to use the words as published in the RD an devise one line definitions that scanned and fitted into an abab ~ cdcd etc Rhyme Pattern. We were always taught at school to build up vocabulary books in English ~ Latin ~ French ~ Spanish ~ German etc ~ I am a Bibliophile and I love LIBRARIES. Texting has dulled the art of penmanship ~ the rot started with DRINKA PINTA MILKA DAY etc and is now endemic. All one can do on MPS is set an example. There are those on MPS who send me their drafts to "Polish" before the "Publish" and I am grateful for that. I know I'm not perfect ~ but at least i try ! Your BRIAN ~ Please add a luxury item to my latest FUSION ~ B !

        Informative write. Thanks for sharing. Never hurts to increase vocabulary.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Thanks HEART ~ Pleased you liked it ! I was taught and still teach in my Seniors Poetry Class ~ That the essence of a good Poem are Words and the way they are deployed throughout the Poem ! It stands to reason that RHYME demands an infinite vocabulary ~ but also because words have syllables so does RHYTHM ! As for REASON it is often killed or muted because of the wrong choice of WORDS "He who would be a Poet must first and foremost be a WORDSMITH !" Thanks for your comment ~ Yours BRIAN !

          • Heartwriter

            Please read mine as well. Ty

          • ForeverJesus7

            That was very clever. A strong vocabulary is very useful.

            Persistence is key

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks SISTER CHRIS ~ The BIBLE teaches "PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR & MAKES YOU INTREPID !" You have the Infinite Love of The TRINITY ~ The 100% Love of your Family and the LOVE of all your MPS Friends ~ No Room for FEAR with all that LOVE.
