The fancy words you speak.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The fancy words you speak. 

 I do not care if your poems are right or wrong or if one of the commas is gone. I'm sick of hearing that love is only a word and all I see are paper rings and things. I want to hear you sing it doesn't matter if it's good or bad I promise it won't make me sad. All I want to do is make you happy and glad. Words are only a thing in the air all I want in this world is for you to show me you care. Words only scare me though they all come with a big fee. I will not pay that fee because it's me and I'm free. Give your girl a kiss good night every night and hold her tight when she feels uptight hold her hand when she don't understand. I see beauty and all you see is ugly. I don't get that kiss good night every night I don't get the hand to hold to help me understand I don't get anyone to hold me tight when I'm uptight but you do. All I have left is maybe a dream or two

About this poem

This is the most horrible poem no commas no nothing but I'll take it over everything. Words to me don't mean a thing. You show me. That's what I want to see.

    Wow, I absolutely love the passion and emotion that you put into "The fancy words you speak" poem! Your message about wanting to hear sincere and heartfelt words rather than just fancy language really resonates with me. Your words are powerful and thought-provoking, and they evoke a strong sense of emotion in the reader.

Maybe try experimenting with rhyme schemes or varying the length of your lines to add more depth and complexity to your work. Overall, though, your poem is incredibly moving and it's clear that you have a talent for expressing deep emotions through your words. Keep up the amazing work!
