I savour the taste of words
the shape of them in my mouth,
the colour of them in my mind, and the varied textures of meaning in each choice.
the shape of them in my mouth,
the colour of them in my mind, and the varied textures of meaning in each choice.
I love the clarity of each syllable
the hues and shades of meaning;
the plush or brittle sensation of idiom and phrase as it moves from mind to tongue.
the hues and shades of meaning;
the plush or brittle sensation of idiom and phrase as it moves from mind to tongue.
I pick and choose each word and phrase
by habit, by convention, by usage;
each cadence, each weight and meter for its significance of its description and overtone.

I paint with
words and meaning
instead of pigment and brush;
the hues and shades of each phrase, each placement of sound and thought is by design.
