A Play On Words Poem by B.J. Ayers

Why do we experience, experiences, experienced?
Why do we feel, feelings, felt?
Why do we dream, dreams dreamed
Why we think, things, thought
Why do we want, wants, wanted?
Why do we wish, wishes, wished?
Why do we love, lovers, loved
Why do we anticipate, anticipations anticipated
The artist captures the sea seen, shown
The fisher fishes the fish fished
A baby cries the cries he cried
A lie is a lie that once was laid

A soul is a soul, but not a sole
A hole is a hole and not a whole
A break is a break, but not a brake
A brake is a brake but not a break
A hide is to hide but not a Hyde
A Hyde is a Hyde bur not to hide
A plane is a plane that my be plain
A train is a train that can't be trained

I wish I had a wish that I could wish
I felt a feeling I felt before
I saw a saw I wish I had seen
I broke the pane then felt the pain
The wrench was wrenched before he wrenched it
The tool was a tool before he tooled it
The fool was a fool before he fooled me
I pulled the pull and it pulled me
I tried to try before I tried
A play of words I played on you
