Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

If I Could Have a Word

For the time when half the day has gone,
The catchword through admission, it is lost, 
Lest a change of a word that can be, crossed,
As 'pass-ed' is the best choice, somewhat, is drawn.

One interprets a wasted period,
As the other substantiates the point,
Pivots on any given word, viewpoint,
One equivalent to a myriad.

Just a wrong word, to point, could start a war,
As the right word will start the peace process,
If no word is ventured, then none I guess,
Then nothing worthwhile would come to the floor.

When you move counter, left or right, there's talk,
When both moves centered, then it'll be head-on,
So best choice, "the day passed, then, "the day gone",
Meaningful day, in matters of the clock.
