I search for words of consequence,
that carry weight, and have some sense,
but sometimes write indifferent trash,
preposterous chatter, balderdash.
Just useless words
that sound absurd
quite often boorish, sometimes brash.
There’s times my poems might offend
or be quite hard to comprehend.
The meaning’s hidden, tucked inside,
or sometimes oversimplified.
The rhyme is wrong,
some words too strong,
or even plain undignified.
I’ll search for subjects to amuse
or tax the brain with different views,
Some loving words to melt the hearts,
or titillate the naughty parts,
in any case,
it seems a waste,
when simple common sense departs.
Instead of wisdom to imbue
some words distort and misconstrue.
I pen the words that seem immense,
but really are of little sense.
I see it’s time
to end this rhyme
and search for words of consequence.
Though ponder I with all my might,
I must agree. I think you're right.
