tongue tied

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      don’t write for others

it’s best done witless, I mean with less

 

who needs foolish  

                world approval

               anyway?

 

        unfortunately, tis vanity

tat rules da world

 

   but poetry still rules da heart

 

                             when its words

                                                      massage our soul

 

                  and we're not tongue tied once again

Less is almost always more and you're right..who needs approval, they're merely opinions and just like, well, you know, everybody has one.Patrick

Jude,
This could be a rap song, but there is more to it than just rhythm.
I love the line massage your soul, that is what your poetry does to me.
Much peace, light and love,
Amber

Cracked bard sane. The free spirit of Kate Tempest would like this one. Okie-doke, hip-hop Gangsta Rabbit; I'll never mention the 'c'-word again - even though you know there must be more than a few who would welcome a bit of tongue-tied-massage! :) sK-B xx

Part of it comes from the synergy of the media pool. Do we really compete like news reporters? Ir's a fine line I think. M.True

I really like the lingo and the message was a massage. May we speak our peace In poetry and not be worried about approval by anyone other than little old us.

Did the title of my poem give you the idea?

not sure my words have such a choice, they seem to arrive, as you say "witless"

I too, like sherry below, believe that talent such as yours is a gift to be shared...thanks for doing just that w/out ego/vanity

I think sometimes the poetry writes itself, and demands to be heard...despite what we as mere poets think...it's whether we have the courage to carry this through...or we choose to remain tongue tied...

Like Paintings, Poetry either creates an image that the reader is seeking to discover, or words that reflect the Poets Soul.

Not sure about the Post Modern Linguistics. But nice read...

I have always felt that anything I have written, any of my photographs, paintings, drawings, etc. should go on to live a life of their own once I have completed them. Vanity? I have none in these realms because I believe the ability to do these things is a gift that was always intended to be shared. I love the simplicity of the text in this offering and the depth of the content.
Take care,
Sherry

I agree with you, but who cares about vanity? Rely on your heart’s language; it knows best. Thank you for sharing. Love Emile

Yep. When you're right, you're right. Still, we come on sites such as AD and others to put our words out there. We appreciate it when someone reads and comments. Otherwise we would not bother.
