881


THESAURUS

The weight of words is surely 

Heavily loaded unto those of us

Earning a light passage of seemingly

Shallow phrases wrought from

Afternoon tea and cookies

Unless we search deeper and

Research our terms keener

Useless reckoning will befall

Such poets of lazy mettle

    I enjoyed this poem Gillena - and how to put depth into those saccharine shallow phrases

    I think we need those shallow phrases... looking deeper might not always be the best.
