The Weaver's Yarns

I find small groups of words huddled
Bound together and befuddled
Their meanings over time now muddled
Yellowed lies of passing dogs now puddled

Others rant, claim they’ve been born again
Lost within deceptions now and then
Whittling their meanings razor thin
Thus, none can use such words except for them

To form a phrase was once considered art
For open minded thought was at its start
As words would step on stage, play their part
Not caring for the place of horse or cart

For words are but the spindle’s flowing threads
Ink the weaver’s yarns in blues and reds

Quite interesting. And to think of all the words available to us and how differently we make use of them

Right on. I agree with this poem. There is little freedom of speech in this robotic, digital world.
