Do I Still Guide

A Poem by Daniel Fletcher

Ah, words. So useful, so magical....

Do I still guide these words I used

Or do they spirit thoughts along

Like creatures which, with silent song,

Are carrying my weight, bemused?

When broken, empha-

sized like

this

They’re given

weight;

attention’s gifts.

They coruscate, perspective shifts

They reach the depth I always miss.

I write and fantasy is true --

Words seem to take it all from here.

These clothes of thought make thoughts so clear.

Elucidate! I cry -- they do.

I really wouldn't know where to start trying to improve this. I think it must be finished.
I thought the phrasing of the first verse/stanza? was almost Shakespearean.
A great use of both vocabulary and grammar.

These clothes of thought make thoughts so clear.
Elucidate! I cry -- they do.

...and don't they just? A fantastic piece.
