A Million to One

This writer wrote

Script bled upon the paper

Another, in a similar line of work,

Wrote one word, never saying it’s meaning or,

Definition

At the time he passed

His records and writings gone through

That word was found again

The book

This writer wrote

Script bled upon the paper

Now dusty and hidden upon an old creaky shelf

One newly found

Another, abandoned

The word became a model center of conversation

Debate and opinions put to it

Over it’s definition

Newscasts brought out it’s point

Defined what it hadn’t ever meant

The book however, that

This writer wrote

Script bled upon the paper

A child bumped it’s curiosity

Beyond the bookshelf of populous preference

They found the book

Upon opening the pages, found things

Shunned and unfavored,

This writer wrote

Script bled upon the paper

Breaching their brainwashed mind,

Opening their eyes

They shut the book

Bounding off with their new treasure

Now another little twist to the story

That word…

Starting another page

They began

Furget…

Noticing their mistake, they stopped writing

Wondering what to do, also being of tiredness,

He simply left the paper there.

Sleeping thereafter

This word meant nothing

It was simply forget, misspelled

The book however,

It was written by a family

One which long since had passed

This was a book keeping all their,

Spells, curses, healing minerals even parables

Some records

After the family owned it,

A gypsy was traded this by a merchant

She wrote explanations to many of her crafts

Even ancient Japanese, Indian and Chinese mythology,

All of these were in the book

Came up with this idea and wrote the poem, I also mixed that line in to show how words can change their meaning very quickly XD I'm also love legends and such and figured that type of book would be pretty interesting to read. please rate and reveiw to give me some opinions, btw all the things I write have been written a certain way to display meaning or emotion, nothing is misspelled and I follow very little grammar when doing a freewrite.

Wow. Seems like I'm going through various rooms of a haunted house. Each room has the dialogue of each segement flickering through the static of an old t.v....... nice effect... ;)
