Help! I'm stuck in poets' speak On conversations havoc wreak Counting words to match the time Finding each line ends in rhyme Didn't mean it to be so Poet speak won't let me go Too much time have I spent here Reading verse to lessen drear But conversations now are bent Spoken with poets intent Did not mean this way to be Poet speak won't set me free I'm so stuck in poets speak I wish it made others feel meek Instead they grin and laugh out loud Poet speak does me, not proud My poets speak must be no more Lest they throw me out employment's door Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Kethry~ I just love your poet speak. Been know to turn a speak or two at work myself ! Why the other evening we had an impromptu poetry reading in the lobby of my workplace. It was such fun ! It was requested by customers - and so well-received ! Keep it up, Ms. Poet !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I think if I held an impromptu poetry reading at work, I would lose all credibility with my "customers" and my audience would be men in white coats. lol. Thanks Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Kethry you can speak to me In words that rhyme so merrily I will hold you lil hand hun When those men come we both will run Throwing rhyming words at their feet Til they too speak in poets speak And in the confusion we will flee To speak your speak so joyfully We all have wings...some of us don't know why |

My answer here, give loud and free lest poets speak wins victory to count the cost you all must try to leave this place and view the sky everyday for at least one hour then poetspeak will lose it's power life's loss is great, if you laugh or cry when poetspeak can get you high!

The words you penned with Poet's Speak, Opened up our brains so words would Leak. The replies of poetry that are written above, Fit with your poem like a glove. So when one writes and they get stuck, Come here, find words,now good luck.... Bernie Nice write Kethry to spark the brains and words of others. |
