A Small Word Can Make Things Different

An accent can change a whole statement A comma can alter the whole meaning A small word can make things different And a smile can enhance sightseeing. An apostrophe can emphasize the beauty Of a place, a noun, a country or a city An atom can destroy our world, nothing Is too teensy to destroy a life or a building. The titanic ship was never too big to sink These days, very few of us are able to think People elect some leaders for the wrong reason Leave me alone. Pay, pay, and enjoy your pain. A small vowel can make a humongous difference No word is too small, too petite, and too innocent Dot the i; cross the t. Please use your common sense An accent can naturally change a whole statement.

When I said I wanted to be a Lawyer; I was told to take English classes. This poem is the reason why.

Thanks for your comment. Learning is a lifetime commitment. All poets are professional students. We never stopped learning and improving our skills and our vocabulary. Even when we make mistakes, we obviously learn from them. Best of luck.
