Word

Words have flavor 
Though not eaten 
Some are sour 
Others sweetened 

Words can darken 
Teach true hate 
Or preach love 
And Illuminate 

Words like read 
Are so decieving 
Is it read or read 
That I am reading 

Words are sticks 
Then they’re stones 
Can be bricks 
In well read homes 

Words can color 
In so many hues 
Or dull you 
Smear you in blue
