All Talk

Oh, I pity you
just glossy words
in your sparkling
casual conversation
talking of
things you want
but know
nothing of
vocabulary
really is
a funny thing
but I think
before speaking
you should
learn definition

AGREE! Definition is a must.
One of my favorites is:
"Please engage mind before
opening mouth"!

Great write!
Much enjoyed!

Always remember to keep them fluffed
but, never, EVER ruffle them!

I talk little,
Most do not, they talk many,
Your few words speak to me

Goodness, Helen, you do have a way with words.
Very good writing, this is.
Hugs to you, lady

ah, yes,
if one be not a liar,
then one must understand thy tongue
and the words it weilds

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I don't always love brutal honesty, but this is an exception.  Well put!
