Word Wars

He was a lonely person. With so many words he Can't fathom into sentences. He would sigh and lay His head down. So many Words scream and shove all Competing for a chance To be on paper. Waterfalls Of letters crush out darkness that Pleads "Write Me". Vines of Complicated words tango with Useless 'fillers'. Haikus battle with sonnets, Crashing against mountain of Free verse. Winged poems like Guardian angels thrash against The dead hands of past poems. Casting them back to where they belong. Forgotten, Against the whiteness of paper.
