The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Was surfing through all sorts of old files and AM battle raports and AIM logs and whatnots, and found this:

 

 

 

LordZadown: it's the images, man

 

LordZadown: the visions

 

LordZadown: the paintings done with words

 

LordZadown: one picture is a thousand words, but one painted with a two dozen words is still a thousand words when you look at it again and again

 

LordZadown: good text expands upon reading

 

LordZadown: it is distilled

 

LordZadown: the essence of what it describes

 

(name removed): interesting view on this

 

LordZadown: I just made it up

 

LordZadown: but I'm still serious

 

LordZadown: poems are a perfect example

 

LordZadown: a few words - and you see a still moment

 

(name removed): I know what you mean

 

LordZadown: to write is to see visions and to distill the focus points out of it and write those out to others

 

LordZadown: to draw the essence and the soul of the moment you are describing

 

LordZadown: one can always extrapolate and deduct the things that are not needed

 

LordZadown: "fir" says green, it says the smell of a forest, it implies squirrels somewhere

 

LordZadown: but it is still a single word

 

LordZadown: ...

 

(name removed): squirrels???

 

LordZadown: perhaps

 

LordZadown: perhaps not

 

LordZadown: that depends on what else is written and who reads it

 

(name removed): ... guess it does :-D

 

 

 

Dunno. I kinda liked reading it. That's (still) how and why I write.

YES!

 

 

 

When just puffs of air, labial shaped vibrations, reach into hearts and minds and draw forth visions...

 

 

 

That's when it's perfect. We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to.

This is just to say

 

 

 

I have eaten

 

the plums

 

that were in

 

the icebox

 

 

 

and which

 

you were probably

 

saving

 

for breakfast.

 

 

 

Forgive me

 

they were delicious

 

so sweet

 

and so cold.

upon

 

 

 

a red wheel

 

barrow

 

 

 

glazed with rain

 

water

 

 

 

beside the white

 

chickens.

Translation: Great, what's your point?
