some days
I’ve much to say
words come easy
other days
not so much
but is it right?
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
some days
I love to write
dot the i’s
cross the t’s
but is it right?
“Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.”
― Stephen King
some days
I learned long ago
what is said and
what is written
follow one forever
but is it right?
“That’s what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
some days
not just words
but their intent
consume my soul
but is it right?
“I like good strong words that mean something…”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
some days
I prefer to be quiet
am I not in touch?
but is is right?
“We live and breathe words.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
