Wuglyees in a Soho Treasury!!

    Just when I was feeling my age, and feeling kinda "Beige" (for those of you who have been reading my blog, you know that colorless 'beige' is not my favorite thing!), along comes "catlovesbear", an Etsy shop owner, and puts my Black Buttoned Scarlet Floral Elegance Brooch in her beautiful "Scarlet Soho" Treasury!!

    So, now I'm feeling "Red"!! And not just any old shade of red either, but "Scarlet" Red!! :-) And I'm in good company too, with all of the other talented sellers, artists, photographers, etc., in this beautiful treasury with me! So, I'm going to link you to the shops that are sharing this spotlight with me.

     {On a side note, and specifically intended for all tweeters, bloggers, internet chatters, and Facebook followers who use words every day to express yourselves,...Please be aware that it doesn't cost you any more time to be polite and encouraging, than it does to be snippy, ignorant, and bad mannered. I had a friend hurt by some goings on lately. I know I can't control what other people say, nor do I want to, but PLEASE be aware that your comments and behavior does reach PEOPLE, not just an interspace full of type-written words. Thank you.}

Living Are The Words

All Poets through the ages,

from Poe to Maya Angelou,

have known the power of a word

and what the written word can do.

Words, alone, or in a sentence,

camouflaged or on their face,

are living breathing things,

occupying time and space.

Left within the mind

no one can hear them swear and curse.

When you release them by your speech,

their jab can go from bad to worse.

A complement is like the carving

of a golden apple's peel.

Falling gently on the hearer,

making shiny words a meal.

Cutting words are like a dagger

seeking out the mind and heart.

of the innocent and sure.

Pulling confidence apart.

Living breathing, in and out,

causing havoc every day.

You could be their vehicle.

So, be careful what you say.

Let good words inhabit spaces,

(which inevitably they do.)

And in receiving minds and hearts?

Let them flourish in there too!
