Inspired by Ken's fantastic love of words,
As so is mine.



WORDS

I know that people out there,
Must think I'm really daft.
Sometimes I find or see a word,
That allows me to hone my craft.

Some are old and worldly,
That allows me to escape.
Into worlds that have never been,
That I once saw within a dream.

Much is the inspiration
Of inspiration that knows no bounds
To recognise a difference in every sound,
A word makes as it travels all around

Some as old as Methuselah,
While others as old as time.
To pluck them out of obscurity,
To be able to use them in a rhyme.

For word's surround us,
In so many different ways.
If only we had time to use them all,
Before our end of days.
