Meaning

I've come to fall in love with the sounds of English words by themselves. So I wrote a poem to praise those words with silky sounds.

 Oh, but all the words I admire

Soliloquy, Meander, Spire...

Each by itself with their own definition

A richness, a wealth, combined to release

A deeper meaning hidden:

Within the Spire at the base

of the river that meanders.

A face in a mirror of a man that panders

to himself in a soliloquy bent slanderous

Against the mannerless droves of men

below him. Its resonance intending to

placate the burning loneliness within.

This has seen some peer review but I'm still open to suggestions on it.
