A well written poem from her latest collection.  - poetheart 05/11/03

Megaloblastic pentagrams
Ostentatious circumstance
Emerald green erythrocytes
Random rendezvous perchance

Adjectives convey a meaning
Expand the verbal universe
Verbs catalyze the word equation
Add kinetic strength to verse

Language is a medium
Not simply understood
A wrong word out of context
Will unleash confusion, if it could

Men of substance simply measure
Words proceeding forth from thought
Motives can control the substance
Of the meaning which is sought

Words don't merely mirror
The fact that we are smart
They unveil with strength and power
The secrets of the heart
