Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rhyme

I Swallowed the Dictionary Now What

Little words of value blown to smithereens 
 I am a smidge of worry with a touch of green 
 I spent the night picking out E's and O's 
 now my tummy is a gurgling with woes 

From the belly, letters jumbled and crinkled 
 from my ear every word flowed and mingled 
 from the eyes the poem poured out in stance 
 as a front cover, back cover, spine cover, danced

I drank it all down with a large glass of water 
 swished it all up, then I thought I saw an otter 
 in my mind the word CREATE arrived in swing
 so I decided to write this ditto and give it wing 

I swallowed a dictionary full of words and phrases 
 I didn't do it for glory, nor did I do it for praise 
 Maybe I just wanted to feel whole again 
 that is  why I used, my frivolous light pen

I swallowed the dictionary, now what ?
