If I could give each of you a gift, I would.. but alas all I have are my words to share...so in that spirit I give this ditty about 'words' and what they mean to all of us who dip our pen into the ink that becomes poetry, short stories, novels...the written word.
Merry Christmas to each of you and may your holiday be as joyous as it can be!
Just A Few 'Words'
Being the season of giving I thought I might
Share just a few words with you...
Perhaps throw a party.. invite some friends!
Of course, 'nouns' would show up...
(They think they are everyTHING
If you know what I mean)
Some of them are quite proper
And some not so...but that's another poem.
'Verbs' will come too but they'll be busy
Doing whatever it is 'verbs' do.
Arriving to make 'nouns' look good
Will be those trusty 'adjectives'
And 'adverbs' must come since they can't
Leave 'verbs' alone.
'Pronouns'!! What a group!
'I' loves to argue.. usually with 'you'
And 'we' will simply ignore 'them'.
'He' will really like 'her'
While 'she' will get into 'him'
'Me', 'us, 'they', and the rest will spend time
Simply trying to figure out whose side to take.
And poor 'it'....tough to go through life
Changing identities every second
Because someone needs 'it' to.
There will be 'prepositions'
And, of course, their objects...
(Can't leave home without them!)
And those darned 'conjunctions'
Will be trying to make connections.
Always arriving late will be 'participles'...
They do like to keep us hanging.
What would we do without words?!
Even when they become 'possessive'
Or believe themselves to be 'superlative',
We still embrace them, mold them, and share them...
But mostly we love them!

A Milestone Poem! What a party yours will be with saucy and glib guests vying for attention. May I attend? I get wordy, now and then, and would like to observe... even see if any of them have a cure for well-meaning talkative persons interrupting good conversation and one person's comments.
This is delightful, Myrna. Using words to throw a party for words!
Good fun, here. - Bill
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
