your words are smooth!

do you jest?

is life a pun?

are you a player

full of fun?



words flow so easy

from your pen

sincerity in feelings

that'll ne'er end



unbiased honesty,

rough at times

correcting proper

the disheveled

Author's Notes/Comments: 

these words are meant to soothe and not be smooth.
for those with acid bites, not acid tonques.
for all of us that do  need a diction---ary this is not for us.  07/29/01

Right! Writing is quite "rough at times," especially because it requires of us to look inside/outside ourselves honestly, and confront whatever it is that we find in order to put it into language. The business of poetry has to do with experience materialized into words, but in order to do this well--to call it "poetry"--one must live and re-live one's experiences, analyze its nuances from different angles, being aware of textures, cadences, associations, & so on. This is, of course, my own humble opinion, and my reading of your last stanza. Thanks for the read--"very well--express'd," as Alexander Pope would say!
