What Words Can Do
Are you ready for dictation?
Then listen to the creation,
Slowly words that reach fruition,
Find a way to your location.
Quickly one by one they
Swiftly take possession,
One by one they hurry by,
Seeking out their destination.
Rhyming words, doing verbs,
In fact all sorts of words,
Some change, some rearrange,
As they dance across the page.
First a sentence, then a line,
Paragraphs come just in time,
Next a page, soon a chapter,
How many more for me to capture?
Stories written, tales are told,
Of people who have been bold
Fears faced they bravely hound
Their reservations underground
Romance of hero, who was parted,
Sweetheart torn from him, he cried
Decides, to search by camel ride.
By caravan he sought and found his bride
Work is done, the yarn created,
Novel written, the pages sorted,
Chapters checked, new paper printed,
The book is bound, apt title found
Stillness taught, so vision comes
Quietly listened, words abound
Silenced mind, so story writes.
Pictured all, sweet poetry found.

the power of words as only you could put it Bob, well composed
A wonderful composition. Bob, it by word that that we exist, in all spheres the life subsists.
Great rhythm and flowing words. Lovely lesson about writting. Thanks!
With words weaved into poem talks about romantic story of novel and painting they do for all to form a picture in mind to enjoy and appreciate! Well done with words!
Very well composed Bob ! The Old English epic 'Beowulf' was initially composed to be sung along with the music of the harp ! The alliterations and stops used between the lines were meant to give a special significance to the 'Words' ! It appears different to us because we read it as a normal poem expecting modern rhyme ! Thanks for sharing ! -Raj
Positivity and wisdom abounds through these lines Bob. Great rhythm and rhyme too! A feel good poem for sure!
