Taking Hold

Make words work:make them tell the tale you want to tell. Let them show who you are and how you feel: use words well. Move words around: make them step out, march, advance. Feel the pulse of them, the sway, the spring: make words dance Make wouds sound: hear them loud and clear, listen to their ring. Hear them hum to each other, catch their tunes: make words sing. Dig with words: turn up meanings, rake over, hoe. Uncover buried stories, incantations: make words grow Polish words now: make them glint and glimmer, cast a spell. Ready? Take hold then and dazzle us: wear words well. By: Jack Ousbey
