Complex thoughts
need simple words
The meaning foremost
verse to show

The mind expands
new seeds put down
Cross pollinated
left to grow

The soil fertile
just sun and rain
As fields once fallow
rise anew

To drink
from my well
you
first must believe
Each cup 
that I proffer 
permission
received
The fuller
your bucket
the stronger
your vow
Each word
that you ladle

for structure and form

With prose you can finish

Empirical

how many words are added to the dictionary each year?
None?

the whats-and-whys
of your omissions
have me pondering-wondering

how can you not know
that you torment me

Like a thief
Rich words come
Wise, warm, rhymes

Nouns and verbs
Verse still, light
Quaint hues, blue

In silent
Odes, the truth
Rains down hope

This art that's built of words 
is inspiration-bound;
finding worthy, optional...
