Sweet Nothings

October 3, 2007 by Shirley Allard

If ever you find
you have nothing to say
just say it with flair
in a most unique way. Stretch out those syllables,
sneak in a rhyme,
and you’ll have said something
poetic in kind.

I couldn’t help but notice the way you constructed your poem… the only line that differed from the rest was the one where you suggested we “stretch out those syllables”… Ha! Delicious! I love it… I’ll try to remember that when next the ‘block’ comes a’callin. Thanks for this, it’s very clever.

Yeah, yummy! You’ve made “nothing” into something sweet.

Thanks Bob and Jo. You can’t say absolutely nothing without dressing it up a bit!
