This morning my challenge was to write something that would make me smile-enjoy-dlj

84 Words
© January, 2011
Dan Johnson

Today my words are scattered:
Hiding, yet lurking in all the corners of my mind;
if this is hide and seek, would it be cheating if I took a peak?

Right now my words are cluttered:
Totally disorganized without purpose or direction;
looking for a little charity, would the word doctor please give me clarity?

Like my youth, today my words are sadly misspent:
Using big words where little words would do;
not sure where each word goes, please forgive if I appear verbose.

Wordplay is always a good exercise for the mind and one never knows where it will lead really. Thanks for sharing, Dan. Love and peace to you,

Dan,
I'm certainly smiling at this clever and very thoughtful
piece, and there's nothing verbose about it.
Nice one!

Hate it when those words hide from me, but it happens way to often these days. I'm so thankful for "SPELL CHECK" and "SYNONYMS" on my "WORD" program. Those runaway words are less elusive now. Nice write Dan.

Thanks Dick

Rounding up words can be a little bit like a cattle drive at times, especially finding those strays. Nicely done. Patrick
