THE INTERPLAY OF WORDS - MAY 2006

The Beauty of Words
Incubating in the womb – of my mind
Nurturing in the reservoir of words –
Developing – gestating –
To birth of poetic lines.

The Interplay of Words,
There permutation is infinite.
Poets extrapolate Words
Into metaphors – similes – idioms –
Structured sources
For prose and poems.

Bouncing words on cranium wall
Rebounding opposing words off wall,
Flip it – flop it – spin it around
Till it quenches – the thirst for words.

The Interplay of Words,
Listen – listen to your inner voice
To euphonious Words
For harmonic convergence
Of sounds – rhythms – and rhymes –
That’s palatable to the senses.
Listen to your inner voice
And play it again.

The Interplay of Words
Words that resonates
And stir the depth of minds.
The power of Words
Those wondrous Words
Explode on empty page
Imploding in the mind
Evoking transcendental imagery
That touches – the palate of minds.

Woven fabric of Interplaying Words –
Captive in windows of my mind –
The imagery –
Is the Heart and Soul of Poetry.

The aesthetics of punctuation is nil
As it floats over written lines
Integrating where it’s needed
And ends this poem – with the final period.

Clever and sophisticated in the way you negotiate your words, about words in this poem. This is one of my favorites, of your poems. Julie
