Following Words
I am following words
treading over letters
as they twist and flow
weaving, free of fetters
characters curl and straighten
high on that arrangement
sharp turn, sharper curves
the perfect word placement
that impulse that few feel
that this, This, THIS!
is my chosen coercion
my tortorous bliss
spirt and flesh addicted
to the swirl and the swing
of letter choked emotion
tread I on, words following

Notes: Based on the quote by Charles de Lint (from Spirits in the Wires) that my journal title is also based on: " 'I just like playing with words. Sometimes they become something--a journal entry, a poem. Sometimes I'm just following words to see where they go.' 'And where do they go?' 'Anyplace and everyplace.' "
