Word

Words beginning with the »sn« sound in English are often unpleasant: snide, snob, snigger, sneer, snicker, snub, snert, snotty, snippy, snit, snarl, snore, sneak, snag. »Snow« is a word over which there is debate and even an annual change of heart. The first snowfall is almost always welcomed. Christmas snow is considered magical. But too much of a good thing for too long and March blizzards push »snow« into line with the rest of the »sn« words.

A word has the power to define, to bind, to create, to destroy. Truely, a poet has power undreamt of by kings.

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!

Words derive their meaning from the surrounding words, just as human beings derive their meaning from interacting with other humans around them.

»Therefore« is a word the poet must not know.
