In amongst the silent streams of pixels that decorate my screen Are the words I send which may seem louder than I mean For here I sit and phrase some verse and send it to the net Sometimes I have been quite surprised by the reactions that I get Though positive those replies may be some folk it seems see more Than when I joined the letters up from the thoughts I do explore
Now it may be that I've struck a chord of a type I've yet to hear Or could it be that the recipient has a different tone of ear For words make noises in our heads as we read them to ourselves And some pass through more quietly while a few explode like shells But in many of these poems I have written and sent about I will confess some few stronger terms of that there is no doubt
For part and parcel of the urge to place some thoughts on view Is bound to be the passions felt which I wish to explore with you The need to share more than we have in past times on planet Earth So that skin and bones in poorer parts may gain some extra girth And if we did succeed in this would the western casualties be Diet and weight loss systems that we hear of so frequently?
