The Writer's Forum

A place to read, publish and comment on both Fiction and Non-Fiction

Words

Words are everywhere,
Words are my tools,
Words are a staple.

Words, Words, Words,
I give them order,
I give them rhythm.
 
Words are invaluable,
Words are my core,
Words are a comfort.
 
Words, Words, Words,
I give them context,
I give them meaning.

As I craft,
As I construct,
Words become ephemeral,
Words become my Everest,
Words become a...well I don't know what!

 
Words, Words, Words,
My tools desert me,
They resist my order.

Words are driving me insane,
Words are my madness,
Words are a frustration.

Words, Words, Words,
They warp my mind,
They twist my meaning.

Words, Words, Words,
They are so fickle.
Why do we bother?
