Re: Ephemeral Rhyme
Thank you Zondrae, I greatly appreciate that compliment - it must be the purple colour - purple power - probably why Heather is sticking with it

Re: Ephemeral Rhyme
Hi Maureen
I agree that there are colours for words or words represent colours or the way we feel them. I'm adding this poem. I know it is not ABP or consistent but it does have some rhyme. Meant to be said quickly I guess.
cheers
Dolly
WORDS
You may put them alphabetically; or just say them phonetically!
Here. There. Everywhere; in you ears, in your eyes.
Even sometimes in your hair…
Or head… Or said…
Straight from the heart. Giving others quite a start!
Words, conventional, made-up… Paddle-love: A sea of thought.
Or gently stroking, softly, sweet
and sometimes bloking:
Cursing, cussing, crude.
Awakening!
Bold, bright, even breathe-taking;
flashing, friendly or full of feeling. Feeling friendly….
Not always!
Words: Mean tight words!
In wills or bills not always thrills!
They’re in my head; when I’m in bed going round.
They make no sound.
Words I hear.
Sometimes fear. They’re laughing loudly.
Always near. O Dear!
There are words that come and go
Some I’m fond of. Other’s not so.
Make you think. Or want to drink.
Words to try for - Words to die for!
Happy laughing crunching…
Crunching? Eating!
Eat my words.
This I do not think I’ll try.
For if….I eat my words
I’ll choke. And then… I’ll die!

Re: Ephemeral Rhyme
Good on you Dolly - some good phrases in there and I reckon you could work that one round if you were inclined to do so not that there is anything wrong with it the way it is. I like it. Reckon a lot of us can relate to
Cheers

I wonder how many poets have been misdiagnosed as bi-polar?They’re in my head; when I’m in bed going round.
They make no sound.
Words I hear.
Sometimes fear. They’re laughing loudly.
Always near. O Dear!

Re: Ephemeral Rhyme
I was trying for diplomacy - note I didn't query how many people suffering from bi-polar were actually misdiagnosed as poets
