Linguistic Lusciousness

(Picture Credit - Elizabeth Smith on Pinterest)

I love linguistic lusciousness,

While lounging on my laptop here.

These words that flow and flush the forest floors:

Iambic tetrameters and pentameters,

Trochees and dactyls too.

Enough of that: founts of feeling

Count the most.

Imagination running wild;

Persistent perceptions that never pale.

Visions of the future,

Parodies of the past.

Just give me my laptop

And let my fingers dance.
