this is possibly my favorite write because it expresses clearly "why" i enjoy writtin' poetry.
i like ta' play with words. change 'em all around. take a phrase & turn it, see what i've found. throw 'em on the paper, shift their shape & sound. take a common sayin' flip it upside down. see if when ya' turn it it makes a smile or frown. abuse 'em. confuse 'em. refuse 'em. time 'em. ryhme 'em. slime 'em. take the words & say 'em. sing 'em in my head. try ta' find the rhythmn follow where it's lead. i like ta' play with words. change 'em all around. throw 'em on the paper. shift their shape & sound. �

I feel the same way. And your wordplay is some of the best. I find myself rocking and rolling with this piece, ready to burst into song.
