words, words, words like a music sheet they are laid out some bounce around giving children great glee some are all smiles as everybody takes part oh the sensuous words cause quivering lips a tongue creeping between some words are so very soothing its like they are sailing across placid waters toward the horizon and of course words have a dark side to them layered down in cheap little notebooks the misery of a life dark words can absolute destroy eh . . . I may not be able to write provocative and deep some can . . . the rest of us can't ©December 24, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it.

Words indeed! And you do have a way with them. Slippery little devils aren't they? They pick fine times to escape and confound us. Gotta love 'em! Enjoyed your thoughts here Jerry!  |

Many thanks Jo, and yes, I know, I guess I was feeling a bit down at the time I wrote this. ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |
