Words

Rolling tides where the dolphins chase sharks
holler rather than hark, we blew words

Cowboys round horses in dusty bowls
Their souls speak much but utter few words

Preach forgiveness, shame ungratefulness
But their hatefulness spews no true words

Swallow your pride, the tales you sung
Lies on your tongue, these hard to chew words

I've run out of plays and pantomimes;
Old metaphors and rhymes, find new words
