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.
