Words

I love Words

The way they

trip along the tongue

The way the wrap 

themselves around 

you, creating

delight

Wonderful, wicked words

that make you see

new things

 Think new thoughts

I love words 

they create a tapestry 

of delight

showing us images 

in our minds

wonderful, wicked words

I love words

they wreak havoc

and mend souls

they dance on air

and sludge in the mud

the twirl and twist

confuse and bemuse

I love words

Wonderful Wicked Words

Stumped

I have so much to say
I know it is there
On the tip of my tongue
But oh the despair

They sit there all laughing
Having their own private joke
Because they won't leave my mind
and enter the pen stroke

Oh they tease and the tempt
Promise me much
But like that innocent maiden
not giving me such

I said I would do this
A poem a day
and yet already
I am starting to sway..

So words I beg You
start dancing about
sing me your songs
give out a shout
