The Word Artist...
Words do fail me;
How can that be.
Short words, long words, and those in-between.
Big words, little words, please help me to see.
Splice words with images;
Word-craft in stages.
Short words, long words, and all those between.
Big words, little words, not trapped in those cages.
Open the stage;
Fill up the page.
Short words, long words, and those in-between.
Big words, little words, temper with sage.
Chisel the sentence;
Careful with senses.
Short words, long words, and those in-between.
Big words, little words, open those fences.
Words that do rhyme
Those full of time.
Salute those who fight
To get those right.
Short words, long words, and those in-between.
Take all those characters and set up a scene.
Write in full vigour
Infuse with due power.
Short words, long words, and those in-between.
Big words, little words.
Bring right unto flower.
