CHOCOLATE WORDS

I love words
in the way
I love chocolate.
Their lingering taste
Their whispering style
They way they trip off
Slip off
the tongue
Words to bear in mind
Leaving such pleasures behind

And always
That thrill
That musical trill
That sensuous sound
Discarding meaning
But leaving
feeling
The desire for more
Encore
The poet’s drug-store
Treasure Island

I’d like a word with you
A word in your ear
Shakespeare
So I’ll be wordy-wise too
Will
take  some words
and run with them

I heard a word
One day in May
I heard it say
Come here and play
So undeterred
A word occurred
Third word
The word purred
Absurd word
‘Twas mockingbird
Northern Mockingbird
Mimus polyglottos
glottal stop
or “glo’al stop”

You see where it can take me
Tangential thought
Verbiage onslaught
Overwrought
Logorrhoea
Here, here!

Words abound
Words of wisdom
Words of truth
Their singing sound
stirred, blurred, slurred,
So play on words
Herds of words
Let their joy sing
and let them bring
Creation’s wellspring
and thus … let the welkin ring

  2. Great analogy! I’m on my third read through Roland, both witty and clever.( Strange how Blog-land’s so becalmed, though not for the first-time)
    Thank you for this Roland.

  3. I enjoyed this poem Roland and it captures the thrill of finding a new word or a new phrase. And if you find that new word whilst eating a Twirl, well, can life get any better?

  5. Roland, this is so delightful. It has me smiling all the way through. New words, chocolate…
    to top it you get excited in the end. Great poem.
    I quote one of the phrase: ”
    “That thrill
    That musical trill
    That sensuous sound
    Discarding meaning
    But leaving
    feeling
    The desire for more ”

    You do love words!!
