Ode To The Word

Spicy words with lots of bite, 
Soaring words like birds in flight 
Fancy words in fancy poses, 
Floral words that smell of roses 
Rainbow words in vibrant hues 
Black and white ones spreading news 
Icy words that chill the bones 
Hurtful words in angry tones 
Multi level words of love 
Words below and words above 
Words forever sinking ships 
Or cascading over lips 
words that break down or create 
Killing words and words that hate 
Silent words inside the head 
Thought provoking - left unsaid 
Spoken softly in hushed tone 
Words in clusters, words alone 
Some in rhythm, some in rhyme 
Many just a waste of time 
Words that often run amuck 
Dirty words like shit and fuck 
Words of fiction, words of fact 
Diplomatic words of tact 
Foreign words from far off places 
Words to fill in empty spaces 
Words that mean the most to me 
my baby's first, sheer poetry. 
But whether brilliant or absurd 
Life does revolve around the word
