Toying With Words

black, white, gray, tall, wrinkly, short Money, broke, bank, racquetball court. Sandal, beach, woodpecker’s bird call, Flower, plant, winter, spring, autumn, fall. I am toying with words, waiting for a poem to surface. Word association is the way I put my brain on notice. Red, green, yellow, silver, gold, periwinkle blue. Owl, hawk, rooster, ugly chickens too Ankle, knee, joints, wood tick, feather, deer Word association is okay, but a poem is not yet here.
