Words

Ordinary thoughts of standard diction 
Embellish themselves inciting friction 
Words give understanding for how I feel 
To give a 3D image, to sense the unreal. 

Hyponyms to idioms, romantic collective nouns 
Superlative adverbs widely used to counteract a frown 
Imaginative ampersands symbolic of the time 
Emphatic forms of rhetoric, devilishly rhyme. 

Words remain our lifeblood, progressive and alive 
To articulate emotion, a metaphoric drive 
So appreciate the syllables and annunciate the prose 
Give thanks to the words our language grows and grows.
