Words

Words sprinkle across the page.

Patterns, lines, shapes.

Shouldn’t they be doing more then making pretty patterns?

Rather, forming sentences, structure, making some point.

No, they flick and flutter, click and clack.

Tumbling upon one another, pushing, shoving.

Each letter and word wanting to be upfront.

But, see if you would all just orderly line up,

behave,

then together you would make a point.

Maybe you would even be genius,

now that would get you all the attention you deserve.

Work together, build on one another,

become friends, invite others.

No, you can’t all run together, you need your relatives,

the comma, semicolon, and most of all the period.

Join  up forces, then each of you will find your spot.

    Reading this was like being in the center of a three-ring circus! Jugglers, sword swallowers, horse-back acrobats, tigers jumping through burning rings, and clowns all moving around me. Goodness! Do I have to be the circus master and actually lead this crowd? Yes, I do!! How playful! What fun! And such hard work!!!
