Wringword

This is all me, as verse allows, I’ve felt everything I’ve writ.
This I choose to filter my whole in the brevity of wit.

I am diligently present for words; what they mean & why.
Interpretation always has room & tone just cannot lie.

Cognates, calques & Janus words often nurture our confusion.
I learn how a word was built & rebuild them by conclusion.

Curiosity, must then be, parent to innovation.
Born of whimsy & clever clogs, clip-clops alliteration.

So this is me, the wordy nerd, who will tell you everything.
Words have weight & life needs ballast; so my phrasing’s made to wring.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
