Eating an artichoke is like getting to know someone really well. Willi Hastings


 


~~EATING YOUR WORDS~~


A thinking and creative mind
The source from which our words derive
Ideas shared thru linguistic sound
Should not always be said out loud

For substance is a weighty matter
From great discourse to idle chatter
And not all thoughts are meant to share
And may pollute the open air

As tongues are bit, and then are tied
We learn to fabricate, and lie
Especially when thoughts are new
To common sense we bid adieu

Some lack the style and/or the talent
To sugarcoat words so ungallent
Between the brain, and the pie hole
Quakey thoughts get past patrol

Once these words are liberated
To feast on them is complicated
Especially when they're half baked
Its rough to digest our mistakes!!!!

OOOOH YEEEEESSS!!!! This is an absolutely yummy write and has me wincing and guffawing in equal measures - NOT at your searing skill, here, Anita, but in the knowledge that I only too often wield a sword that is WAY too big for me!! Just wish I wasn't so wordy, but y'all must know by now that I somehow just can't help meself!! Like a silk handkerchief from a magician's top pocket, the damn thing just won't go back in once you've started to pull it out...EXCELLENT!! Just luvin ya work, Babe and many thanks for your very kind message this morning....Mwah, Hun Kate xx

Lady A,

Much truth in this. No one wants to hear when they're wrong. Love the rhyme and flow of your poem. That picture was outstanding, glad I didn't make a mistake near that big fella. (lol)
