my word!

my word!

[p]apa, potatoes, poultry,
prunes, and prism [be] all
very good words [for to
strengthen kissable] lips:
especially prunes and prism ...

                                      ---Dickens

but don't forget penelope,
publicity, as well pulpit;

not to mention pinchem,
pinchpin, pipient, pleionosis---

then be lollapalooza,
lollipop, lady-killer,

and lilith, lactobacillus---

so redounding frequent cheer
to vigorous valiant  tongue.

I know it can't be surprising to anyone at this site here ...

but I love the play, the fun---and joy, even ecstasy---that accompanies stringing words together in lines, lines into stanzas, stanzas into works (more play than works, really) of verse, of poetry. Just picture me a proven diabetic, with free rein, a sort of caution-to-the-wind experience, kicking up my sweet-toothed heels devil may care in a colorful candy store. Thanx to both of you for so readily seeing the fun contained within my creation. Yours, Chuck
