Utterly

"I love words, because they're mine. Utterly, completely mine. I can share them with others. I can keep them to myself. I can use them over and over again. No matter what I do, they'll always be mine. No one can take them away from me." - Parker S. Huntington Penniless and powerless Naught is utterly mine, 'Cept one significant thing That shall never be thine Take thee my happiness Take thee all my time, Still, I hold the words And I possess the rhyme For poetry, thou cannot claim Be I alive or be I dead, Naught is utterly mine 'Cept thine words thee read.

Kelly, your poem beautifully encapsulates the profound ownership we hold over our words. Amidst life's uncertainties, our words remain our steadfast companions, a treasure we alone possess. I love your verses affirming the timeless power of language to express our innermost thoughts and emotions. Kelly, wonderful magic with words! - Blessings, Daniel
