Poetry: Words

Poetry
Words on a piece of paper
Sight: the way they look or seem
Sound: the way they pierce the air
Fall on the ear to elicit a dream
Words that stick together
In cliques or clichés
Or in nifty phrases
Words that deserve
A place on the page
Or can be found
Hanging around
In cyberspace
In single file
In neat piles
In a row
Tall, short
Rapid, slow
Relaxed, laid-back
Stressed-out, tense
Words and me
Making sense
Or nonsense
Together
