"A very great part of the mischiefs that
vex this world, arise from words"--Edmond Burke


~~*~~

Caught in the nucleus of a thought
I became fully focused


With mental might I kept my sight
On this one idea


It was my quest to do the best
keep total concentration


Outside matters like mad-hatters
Tried some conversation


But I trained my mind not to be kind
To all outside distractions


So I pondered the words with wonder
In silent contemplation


Until the nugget I gleaned came out clean
A brilliant extrapolation


Words outlast life, that makes them a very good thing to spend...

A word is a key to decipher, but to use
only when  you know it well...therefore
getting to the nucleus pondering every
nuance and exhausting every  meaning
before you use it


This will give you the satisfaction of knowing you selected the best word to use for that specific situation, and no one can call you on it

the skill of deploying words so they not only infer the quality of the thought but the proper sound/texture of the rhythm of moment is indeed an adroit accomplishment of expression ...

clever write ...

Yes, the word must be precise to the thought. How I struggle with this. One word can change the meaning. Roget's Thesaursus(sp?,lol and the dictionary) is my friend. How I respect someome trying to learn this language. Buona Sera, Eileen(ooh just remembered the old bluegrass tune of the same name)...

I try to keep my writing simple, firstly because it is much easier that way for me, and secondly because there might be others who would like to read and learn to appreciate poetry who would like to do so without a dictionary. You are right though, even when using simple words, there is usually one that perfectly expresses what we want to say. Very cool poem.
Take care,
Sherry

You came out of left field with this one and whatever the hell Peter said, I second it. Using words, a necessary, but ponderous thing for the majority of us, as we abuse them more often than not.

Being a simple poet, using simple words to express a thought or an idea ,I have no trouble finding the right word as my muse limits me in the use of words so I don't have an array of words to choose from, even though I know most of them, they don't become part of my poetry. Sad to be limited so. Great write as always Eileen, your are a true wordsmith and Have a Blessed Pentecost Sunday.

Eileen

A comprehensive extrapolation of the power of the word...
When choice use of words are deployed with consummate care and precision, they have the desired effect, in that they convey and communicate the mood and complexity of the soul....

By skilful and adept juxtapostioning of words, we accentuate and amplify all the nuances and interpretations of the variables and
usages of magical words...

Peter
