It smells like paper
Ink and freedom
It smells like people
Worlds away
But close
In my mind

It sounds like words
Sadness and disappointment
It sounds like water
Tears drip onto the page

Hello, my name is Jordanne
I come from stories
Imagination
I come from the words

© Sara D., Aiken, SC

This is a poem I wrote for a writers camp I just attended. It really shows just how important words are to me.
