You write for me poems with meaning
Words I understand,
Images I see
There is never any doubt
Your intention precise.
I could write in abstract images,
Use squwibbles and squswarkles
Dooseys and dontsys
Affront your inner cortextual interface
With a conglomeration of random
Obscure and esoteric
Pseudo intellectual configurations
Leaving you gasping as my verbal diarrhoea
Splashes and massages
Your equally theoretically
Attuned cerebral intellect.
But to do that, to accost you in that way
Would not be me,
My words invite you on my journey
To explore my world
Take in the nuances that make me, me.
I like the words I write
I wouldn’t put them out there
If they confused or troubled me
They are simply, the simple words
Of a simple man.
You had me with squwibbles and squswarkles🙊
Ha I think I will get everyone on that. Thanks for reading Angie.
Love the made up words. haha. I liked it a lot!
Thanks Jackie it’s a response to the comments made on my d’verse from yesterday.
I am glad you do not indulge in logorrhea! Your poem made me smile.
Thanks Gabriella I found this was the result of comments made yesterday on my d’verse poem. You guys inspired me.
I am stunned by your verbal legerdemain and prestidigitation. I just love your squwibbles and squswarkles
Thank you Lyn, very astute comment, love those words, I did have to look them up…..lol..but well chosen….
This is so light and fun, Michael. I would not say your work is simple…it has much meaning but simple to read:) Nice poem. Oliana xx
Thank you Oliana, I am happy you think so, I do try.
Nice “tripping down the cobblestones” quality…like your sculpting of words! 🙂
Thank you so much Georgia. Hope you are having a good day.
Just began…we’ll see how it evolves and are you having a good evening…or is it tomorrow morning?
It is late afternoon. The evening stretches ahead.
And is it the 6th of March…I know that is a silly question…
Yes it is but only until midnight…
Which will be around noon here I think…fantastic how internet puts us into contact like that. You know, usually when I start writing for an American prompt, it’s the next day here…they still have a couple of hours of their evening depending on where the prompt came from! When I read people from Hong Kong or you in Austraila, your hours into my day! Lovely!
The time zones place at interesting times and you like us will change shortly, do you have daylight saving? We go back an hour in a few weeks and you go forward? That changes everything again.
Too true, hadn’t thought of THAT aspect…yes, we should be going on daylight savings around Easter…good grief, as if the world wasn’t complicated enough!
Yes just we get used to all the time differences it changes again…
I do so dislike daylight savings…oh well, ’tis what it ’tis.
It’s a fact of life the world over Georgia. I actually do like it.
I’m not fond of the switching back and forth…it’s more the going back to solar time that bother’s me yhough.
That 2nd verse is simply wonderful! I’m on the journey with you as are many others – whoot whoot – did like this *nods* 🙂
Thank you Jenny, it was a fun write.

HAHAHA, loved this! Yes I don’t have to read the thesaurus with every other word on your poems, except for that second stanza, whoo baby! I can only read one poem like that a day or I get all woozly in the head… 🙂
Thank you so much you recognised my point, very well done my friend.
‘Use squwibbles and squswarkles’ – #Awesomeness
There’s no need for such things unless genuinely in your nature.. lol
You write beautifully, in a way that is relatable and honest. The words to share engage us in your journey, taking us on an adventure.
It’s all relative. I say, keep doing what you are doing 🙂

Thank you Lou that poem stemmed from the d’verse poem before it. My muse said write it, I said yes sir. Thanks again for the comment.
I see what you mean! Sometimes, just saying it lime it is, is all you need to do. Pretension is not necessary, no, not at all!
Thank you so much Freya. Happy you thought so.
I love the way you write. You may call them simply simple words of a simple man. I call them simply wonderful! 🙂
Thank you RoSy, I do try, they get any bigger I don’t know what I’m saying.
