More Than One Meaning

Words escape me at times.

When I need a special word

To give meaning to a poem,

I can think of none.

 

Let it sit for awhile.

Tomorrow will find the missing word.

Oft times it is just a simple word

That has a few meanings.

 

The reader may pass it by

And not look for the full impact.

A second meaning in a dictionary

Can add mystery to what you wrote.

Good advice. A little mystery is so intriguing.
To the dictionary....a friend!

The English language is so diluted and polluted that words are gaining new meanings all the time, depending upon what crowd one travels in. You are saying here that you sometimes can't think of a word you want to say. It's happening more and more to me as well.

And, if the reader misunderstands your words or mine, it's perhaps no matter. More than one conclusion can come from a poetic expression.

Gotta give what you can give, and yup the old dictionary, or even better, the thesaurus can kick start you . . .
