I got this idea from a poetry workshop I went to yesterday: Write a poem about what your words do. "My words change" or "My words never lie" for example. Make it as creative as you want! And tag me @LiberalPoet.

Aaaah.

My words are wild

galumphing cross the page like zebras,

Meandering from idea to idea, flitting

Like: is it zebras or zebri?

Hebrew or hubris?

See-through or deep-fry?

My words play tricks on me,

writing themselves srdawssa-kcab

flopping and flipping

grappling and gripping

my sternum till it's burning

with the pain of little-know truths

and rhymes gone wrong.
