His Words

Hypothetically yours...

Words, blunt as hammers on bones
Sharp as flesh cutting stones
Formed from tumults within
Debris of tempests full blown

Those words like fleeting birds
Of the bluest blue kind
Staying perched upon the edges
Of the darkest panes of my mind

Words, in broken, truncated lines
Battling, contending with mine
As a troubled man in them, fumbles
For a lost woman in me, who stumbles

Words, graceless, biting, coarse
In tones terse and unappealing
Constrained in them, weeping
A thousand voiceless feelings

Words in verses stiff and unrhymed
Unforgiving, sad, often ill-timed
Words bled in the morning hours wee
Words that were meant only for me

Words, simple words and yet they can wield so much power. They can slice and dice or spread like honey, plus everything else between. And yet every poet needs them like the air they breathe. That is where you took me Ditzy. Here kitty, kitty you deserve a treat for this one

As poets, we often crave for words Chris. Words that uplift us, assure us. I’m so grateful for your words here.
Much love,
Ditzy

[Chris Shaw]

Sending love to you too Ditzy :))

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Thank you Chris :))

I'll have words with anyone who would use them to hurt my Kitty I will! Bad bunny is all love but not to those that would hurt the ones he does:/ than he is a fierce lagomorph and will don his broadstick quill and do battle for his fair Ditzy kitty and restore her luxurious phrase! Yes he will

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Whoa! A friend as you is a treasure gained. In earth and in heaven too. Those bitter words are forgotten and yours, full of kindness and love remain in this kitty’s heart. Thank you so much my dearest friend! You mean the world to me. 😽💕

This is a brilliant, powerful & inventive way to say that we all suck at communication in relationships many times. You describe one of the universal curses of so many relationships here. Becuz you use analogies & imagery, your intense details can apply to all kinds of communication dysfunctions. Each reader can read into this as they have had such experiences. Great way to present an interactive poem! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

A very enjoyable poem. Words can bring smiles or tears or something in between. I always hope for smiles. :)

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

I agree A hare off! The power of words is like no other. We’re lucky we to have writing as our hobby. Thank you so much!

[Paul Bell]

Aren't words so powerful? Lift you up, send you back down.
Wrong word at the wrong moment. Oh man, can be a killer.
But I find this very uplifting. you have excelled in making me sad.
Probably need to go and kill somebody now.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Words can pack a better punch than real blows. I play Judo & Brazilian Jujitsu with masters here. And now you’re upset so I’m just going to have to kill you Paul. I’m sorry😦🔫

[Paul Bell]

sounds fair to me.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Omg! A dude with a death wish (Runs)

[Paul Bell]

It's when people don't want to kill me I panic. lol

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

😲....good...you’ll pay me now!

A poem of definite hypotheticals, this one.....

Sometimes words spoken or written poetically have an underlying hidden meaning. Only the inept poet ( if one can truly call them poets, and there are many here!) writes the complete truth on the page. The skilled can mask the toughest of emotions with the simplest words. Poems may not always mean exactly as they appear. So "His Words", whether spoken or written may not truly be as harsh as they sound to the feline ear. Something to muse on.

A nicely written poem. Some lovely imagery and rhyme throughout. Very well done since it is difficult for a clawed feline to type on a keyboard!

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Hello Doodley,

This poem was inspired mostly from feline jealousy and what I meant was mainly that even negative stuff written about us is sometimes more cherished than lovely stuff written about others. Because its about us and we have their attention. The simple psychology of a cat that loves attention ;)

As for typing on the keyboard with my claws, I do use gloves from time to time, thanks.

I greatly appreciate your time and presence here. I could come to dinner, if you like...?

Hahahaha. It's meat on the menu, though.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Ohhhh...never mind then...I'm good at home tonite :))))
