Words, falling under foot,
tampped down for good measure,
shouldn't have been said again

No form, no flow, no curling waves
nor bend of sweeping branch-
better not to say anything than
a novella of repetitious nothing

The metaphor doesn't hit its mark,
the ellipsis, overused in lazy abandon,
needs an extention on the five minute time-out ruling,
and the curve of the rainbow should
experience a straight and narrow
in spite of its wit
for no reason other than to laugh
at itself.

Seriously, let's laugh.
(This is a tongue-in-cheek piece directed to myself, folks. *s)

When you think you have heard it all,
listen more closely.

Tongue in cheek perhaps Chanson, but a very delightful write. Well done and hugs.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

Word said
Write and reread,
Scribbled out instead
Of thoughtful put on paper,
What ever method doesn’t matter
As long as said
Or read

Enjoyable read
