"How Are Words Chosen?"

"How Are Words Chosen?"

A Poem by Chris
"

A quiet ...thought

"

 

"How Are Words Chosen?  "

 

Do the thoughts align to form a rhyme

and slip and slide into formats of light

- each but another measure of what might

be a this or that or even a "q" that added

becomes a squiggle of sound-based-sight?

 

And what decides or determines the path

each breath of thought must flow

to be where we as a person go

to align and find a mind's belief

that such as any word will fit

with all the proper discernment and wit?

 

Duh, idk...

It turns a former English teacher's stomach actually. It seems now that everything is written in abbreviated language, anything goes. I recently heard "conversated" is now a word. Gimme a break. I feel this! Lydi**

Sometimes all we need is a smile - ya know?
I often wonder this myself. Sometimes someone will comment of a word choice of construct of a poem and I realize that I didn't do it on purpose it just came out of my mind that way. When strung all together it is amazing that sometimes random strings of words create salient thoughts.

This was light and airy.
Creative people's thoughts.. Sublime, strange, scary.. Where they originate is best left unknown. :)

words are nicely used in this piece...
enjoyed every bit of it :)

Is that I do know or I don't know...that is the question.
I smiled throughout but really,
....a "q" that added
becomes a squiggle of sound-based-sight
just plain tickled my fancy...
words certainly have a way of finding us though, don't they?
Entertaining write, Chris
I always enjoy reading you.
