Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted In The Grove:
One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
~Carl Sagan

The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries.
~Rene Descartes

These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves.
~Gilbert Highet

EndQuote:
Where is human nature so weak as in a book store?
~Henry Ward Beecher

Prewritten:  insipid, feint

~BarTalk:
Sir’s Work

Fealty unfeigned
A weasely way with the truth
Insipid diplomat’s feint
Doused the fires of war forsooth

~

staged in reverse

feint parry thrust
duel to the death
until one heart stops
loving

words
dueling ideals
dreams put away
boxed in the basement

trade in romance for
the solid comforts of love
or the insipid trade
the cave-in to survive

North Central & South

Rich Uncle Pennybags’ invested in family
Founder and funder of Mr Monopoly
Promising black ink drowning in red
Nothing believable whatever got said
Venomous strikes whose vision is faulty
Insipid replies in defense of his folly
Pouting pretensions sully the stage
Overgrown bully boy not acting his age
Feint south rattle fences make noise in decoy
Using powers of fear with quislings deployed
Divy up America North Central and South
Empire North what it’s all about

feign unfaked interest
feint for the heart check the door
insipid courtship

insipid attempt
intrepid to the faint-heart
feint bold and be brave
