Verbiage

As we lean into
our light as
writers do, it
comes to us
that for all
we share, all
has been shared before.
Ergo
like the earth
we spin upon
the air we breathe
the body we are
given on loan -
so are our words
in order that we may
utilize them well.

In my opinion, 'words' are the only lasting source of true magic in this sad, 'ol world ... not to be wasted frivolously, etc.!

Karilea it is a given that about every word has been said a million times and yet each time someone decides to write, those same words play   out a new and sweeter scene. Enjoyed,Jo

Yes, somehow, somewhere everything has already been said and yet inspiration is a powerful invitation to say it again ... after all there are millions of different hues of colors and every word dresses itself anew according to its creator's intentions.

So let's them use well, yes, dear Karilea, as you do!

Love,
Margherita

Hello, Sunshine!

      Reading this a while back, I enjoyed it, but as I have read it several times since,  the message is beginning to permeate my thinking.
I often feel that my words and thoughts are mundane, but after reading the rest of your poem and others' articulate responses, I will challenge myself to be creative on topics,
realizing how uniquely the common words and thoughts can be arranged.

Thanks for your inspiration!

Cathy

Hah! They like to tell us that nothing is new. I say balderdash! True, poets may write about the same things, say the moon, that has been written by poets kerjillions of times. But it is never written the same, and if it is it's called plagiarism.

It is amazing how some people can turn simple words into something beautiful. You are one of those people, Karilea.

If words are given birth honestly, from within,
they are always amalgamated to something unique.
Yes, they are a privilege, but the way in which they are utilised will never meet with universal accord. Succinct poem, yet wordy enough to induce searching thought processes.
