Make new words

Illness and the daily demands of life intervene, as so often they do.

Thus, as of Xmas Eve, I am still at work on my second chapbook, "This Is Only A Test."

Still, progress continues. Below is something brief I just composed, about one of my favorite topics (the power of language), which I'll probably use as my preface:

Make new words.
Red and blue words.

Make love without the trembling
urge to touch the troubled crutch
of
tried and true words.

Use zoo words.
Fresh-as-dew words.
Just a few words.

But make them
you-words.

I love it! The message may be a little cutesy, as someone mentioned, but the real treat is reading this out loud and feeling the words you chose to use to describe non-words roll off your tongue. the cacophony and mellifluousness. the language. wordsmithy.

I liked this. It is short, a little cutesy for my usual tastes, but it has "voice", and that's what matters in art. Well done. Best of luck on the chapbook.
