The Power of Words

Words are formed as we all know
from letters pure and simple
each letter changing the meaning
such as each ,beach, teach, search

Just the one letter changes all
words relate so differently
when used in sentence form
each going their own way.

The end results are so unalike
we poets start with a blank page
then weave the fabric of our words
That all may behold in their glory.

Or, even in dismal failure
words, yes words say it all
telling our tale in prose or rhyme -
I love the simple power of words!

yes words are an amazing way of expresion. I find it baffling that a simple word can contain the same meaning as a complexed word.

Words, literally the tools of the writer's trade, and words certainly can be extremely powerful...

Best wishes
