Statement!

Pithy quotes, perceptive 'one-liners', deep 'aphorisms' or vandal-like accusations scrawled in the fewest, most understandable words possible; it's all about statement!

Poetry (like every other art) can use the performance of a statement to great impact/benefit to it's own devices. Rambles are meaningless tumbles (to the reader) without a path of directional words, and I think the statement can be that path!

But remember; too many statements in one work ends up like crazy paving laid by some nutter blind to the art of landscaping...never mind conversation!

    Good golly Miss Polly,
    I bookmarked and came back, to try and tutor my thoughts, taper and forego the preamble, it was a gamble which, as a natural rambler, was bound to lose.


    morsels from the medulla oblongata


    Afraid I am lacking lol

    but someone I once knew used to say


    IS IT WRONG TO BE RIGHT


    Are we artists creating art
    or does art create us?


    Apathy: A PATH Y?


    That's about as concise a slice as I may serve you with and I used it in a write but many didn't understand it


    Re the impact ratio of ramble to soundbite, I believe you have a point, points get lost within rambling ( read me and you'll see or rather may not lol )
    Yet for a short statement to have impact it is not enough for it to be short but to have impact

    hey... impact : IMP-ACT

    I used to play with words within words a lot within writes and was told it was misspelt, yet if I formulated the word it was to formula.

    You and I have a similar interest in words, they are the tools in the toolbox and can fix, make or break things.


    Enough of my rambling, as a fellow member of the ASCR I shall now jiggle

      "morsels from the medulla oblongata"

      so THAT'S where I got 'oblong' from! I called myself an oblong last night in a drunken conversation...prompting parallelograms and other well-named shapes to 'fess up

        Lmao my sister of Rocco appreciation, you were inebriated if you percieved yourself to be an oblong as in a non conformist square stretched...
        How similar we are...I like to ask others what shape they would describe themselves as,it gives an insight into the machinations of their mindset...
        Also ask lots of other deep questions that make the thirst for another drink more desirous than a thirst for knowledge lol ( psst pass me the 'phone number of the parallelogram )

    Have taken note and book-marked


    Mean to say, have inserted bookmark.

    Copied one off brochure I got from a friend:

    "It's not necessary or even to your benefit to let her know how right you really are."

    being suscint means greater disgestion of the statement by those that hear the words

    I can count on people remembering 7 words

      exactly; succinct wording does help those hearing/seeing to digest content (without having to decipher possible meanings from the writer's usual indulgence of saying too much!)
