Some Words Are Far Too Heavy

Tis the nature of words

Some Words Are Too Heavy

Some words are far too heavy

While others are too long

The heavy ones too Cumbersome

To weave throughout 

A single love song

:)

Author's Note

It was whilst thumbing through empty pages that these words came to me in a voice with a French Canadian accent.................

I am part French Canadian...i felt the accent..:)))

"I heard it in a love song" (Marshall Tucker)

yes, some words are just too cumbersome and some poets use way too many so that reading a poem is like slogging through mud....sprinkling them in is good...but i think poems sound a bit aloof with too many...
and they are harder to relate to as we read them.
I like this.

You just solved the mystery of why I never write love poems . . . my word choices are much too heavy for love! Your poem reminds me of the kind of person who pontificates, so the other person has to say: "Just shut up and kiss me!" (song by Mary Chapin Carpenter -- also the song Jacob mentions is an old favorite of mine & perfect for your message, as well!) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

Glad to be of service Margie... and thanks for calling round .. a welcome and much appreciated call it is too.. N :)

Ain't it the truth? Okay, just read it again with a French accent! I like it....it flows so easily. And, yes, some words do not belong in a love song at all. Good one, Neville. Never know what to expect from you! Lydi**

[Neville]

You got me smiling big again Lydi** many big thank you's are on their way..... :)

[lightsong]

simple words are the best, what's the point of the long difficult ones when many will stand still for some time to understand them and their meanings, that's in general, so You can imagine it when it's about Love, not SO good :)

[Neville]

Thank you G Girl.... can't get much more simple than that, can ya but true ..... :)

[Neville]

and thank you again :)

[Fay Slimm]

My thanks for this read Neville - I agree wholeheartedly that for words to be meaningful they must be sifted - good advice for this chatterbox poet..............

[Neville]

my pleasure, glad you found some value to this little scribble Fay...

[Robert Trakofler]

[Neville]

[Cherrie Palmer]

Oh yes but away the thesaurus and keep the message simple.
PS

[Neville]

[Beccy]

Simple, to the point, and especially from the heart, is always the best.


Beccy.

[Neville]

I am a big bundle of smiles Beccy.. bless ya.. and best to you and the young man both... :)

Keep it short, keep it simple. Anything else gets lost in the ether. Three words, eight letters, that's all that's needed in a love song. Good morning Neville. Celina Dion would sing it nicely.

its not what one see's but the way that one views it... or at least it is sometime, maybe... thank you Chris and good mane to you too.
