A Collection of Words
The words could’ve scarred my soul like a desolate, dangerous, dry dagger
People are always saying something
Always attending strictly to talking
Always sitting back to watch what others have to say
Always getting a new line to try on people to see how it will go
I would not prepared for the bad
It would’ve deserved this name
A sense could’ve came from those words
One that did not seem welcoming
Those words could’ve torn into me viciously
Then just like that
The bad became good
I can’t explain
That’s how it was
Their words were trapped in color and dazzled by clarity
Their words were lovely beyond thought
Their words were a perfect grand review
Their words were a piece of cake
So easy to dig into
So amazing to enjoy
They became a spraying fountain
An explosion of dazzling jewels
The supremest possibility in art or nature
Bewildering
Intoxicating
Intolerable magnificence
One cannot make words too strong

This peice is a found poem using the passages "Travels with Charley" by John Steinbeck and "A Toast to the Old Inhabitant: The Weather of New England" by Mark Twain. I also incorporated the theme of the change of perspectives or the two different perspectives. I used words to show the different perspectives. Words can have negative or positive connotation and everyone should be careful with the way they use them and this poem desribes the two perspectives.
