Plain Speaking

Just say it!

Use straight words,

not the curved type

that peek round corners

or slip, wet off tables

and puddle on sloped floors.

Not words that fall like rocks,

tumbling down ragged cliff

faces, to embed in soft sand

and then evaporate

like mist in the morning sun.

Use clear language

not dense ropes to tie and bind

the mind, or anchor thoughts

to sunken concrete posts.

Speak like an arrow,

straight to the heart;

do it now!

I liked the thoughts and the logic of the words.

I agree. Don't waste words, keep the reader interest and hold them with directs words and statements. Thank you John for sharing the outstanding poetry.
