Searching For Words

Take a number of letters
mix them in a box square
full of more little square boxes
making many words not just a pair

It's very popular nowadays
many a newsagent sells aplenty
wordsearch books is a great love
by all both common and gentry

Many a splendid hour is spent
feeding the old grey matter
finding words within the square box
quite a challenge just for starter

This my favourite pastime
I can spend many a hour
finding words to fit the box
keeps the mind from going sour

Cynthia Buhain-Baello Date: 2/17/2016 4:31:00 AM A very challenging poem to exercise the mind with words, and perhaps turning them into poems later. I listen to music and recall the lyrics of the old songs I used to sing -good mind exercise for the memory.
