Tuesday Chatter Weekly – June 4, 2018

“When a writer tries to explain too much, he’s out of time before he begins.”
― Isaac Bashevis Singer

Word of the week–verbosity-noun-the quality of using more words than needed; wordiness

synonyms-prolixity, redundancy, turgidity

There’s no simplicity with verbosity

and the gasp I can’t grasp

Yet a mind with great velocity

eases the struggles of a task

Wordiness perceived as baloney?

their true meanings misplaced

 Speechless words often a novelty

especially when used to save face

Methinks it best to act responsibly

keep it short, crisp and concise

Let’s not forget the value of honesty

its benefits mingle with good advice

Costly moments taxed by grandiosity

measures of time are not ours to waste

Welcome to the month of June, the sixth month of the year

Wow, how time flies! I can’t believe we’re approaching the halfway mark for 2018. Here are some bits and pieces for the month of June.

June is the first month of the “summer” season and the second of the four months to have 30 days.

Historically, June is a popular month for weddings. However, October is becoming popular, as well. Fall is a lovely time of the year with cooler temperatures and gorgeous colors that will enhance the setting to a perfect outdoor wedding.
