Words


Words words, oh what’s the use of words?

Write them like this, spell it like that, use them like this, say it like that.

A word is a word with a meaning that’s unique,

Different letters and sounds that make their own beat.

The way words are put together puts a smile on my face,

The way their meanings cause feelings makes my heart start to race.

Writing makes me happy because I can express myself.

Writing makes me happy because I can explain myself.

A poem or an essay, either will due

A novel or periodical, its all up to you.
