Words Pay No Debts

Words fail me, An inspiration I owe to you, A bad debt ? Obligations I know Liable to render, Have few words, Did I trespass ? Poverty stricken Have no words, Gift me cues, Words pay no debts ! Do they ? They don't ever, So I won't either Pay back your words ! Written on 4/5/14 Sponsor - Frank H. Contest- Shakespeare On quote by W.Shakespeare " words pay no debts "

I had to read this several times to follow the subtle intent and meaning. Nice take on the quote you chose "words pay no debts". A Shakespearian "promises, promises, promises. It made me think....I like that in a poem!!
