All manner of words are special
Without word of every kind
I’d never met my first friends
Those I found while reading
The only ones I had through childhood and adolescenceAll manner of words are special
Without word of every kind
I’d never found the mould of poetry
In which I fit the right words
The ones that express and process my traumasAll manner of words are special
Without word of every kind
I’d never been able to share my passions
Express my true and authentic self
To experience shared compassion between wordsmithsAll manner of words are special

I tried to make a list of word that are special to me and found out that’s the ones that are recurring themes in all my poetry. Which should surprise no one as writing is very self revealing.
Books, beauty, creativity, dance, faith, Goddess, heart, honesty, life, light, love, lust, magic, mind, music, passion, trust, song, soul, sound, strong, writing, words.
So in the end I wrote a poem about why words of every flavor is dear to my heart!
Written for today’s prompt at toads ~ Words To Live By.

Yes. All words are special. Your poem is a delight.
LOL, I know I certainly have my favorite words and they always find a way to sprout up in my writing. But favorites aside, there’s no denying the magic of words.
“All manner of words are special” and words coming together create meaning the way people coming together make a community. And you found a community of fellow word lovers.
Words are really delightful, I like to tickle them so they tell me where they came from! Hopefully they will be friendly while we are all writing.
I know I also have a grouping of “go-to” words ~~~ nicely done.
I love words and the nuances and shades of words, the way they sound said out loud or whispered in an ear. “All manner of words are special” absolutely!
