Quaint Activity
I didn't trust that I could post strong words
that would import my wish to grant insight
to visions that whirl round within my brain-
by blocking out a common grammar mark.
Oh, words- with such profusion you subsist
apart from using this most basic sign!
I push to find out just how far I'll go,
by working through this quaint activity.
By this third stanza- now I fathom it-
my mind dismissing no-go form of words.
Vocabulary grants broad ways to mold;
much fun it is commanding, shaping it!
At last- a random, abstract notion stirs!
"Must lavish all your days with rightful ways
that bring tranquility to what you do-
by sharing your strong amity and skills."
At last, my skill did fill this task at hand-
as kind, inspiring words impart my thought!
A workaround did soon display pay-off-
and so, this missing part of words- forgot!
