I'm a Word Slut by pattimast

I'm a Word Slut

I'm a word slut from the get-go:
Like giving word snobs the heave-ho
Read poems fast forward and slow-mo
Like word association free-flow
Hold dictionaries in escrow
To pulpit clerics never kowtow
Always pick the word apropos
My brain in syllabic tidal flows
Doesn't like being status quo;
For dead words, I'm a carrion crow,
Never let my vocabulary plateau;
Exist as conundrum, head to toe.

You play with words like a conjurer, tossing them into the air like confetti, then letting them guide you. A quirky little poem written without pretension and with a smile. Fun piece. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This is a fun poem to read, the repetitive rhyme scheme flows well. I enjoyed the read.
