Save Your Breath

Rating: 5.0


Though there are a lot more words
than a person can know,
new ones keep coming in.

Between really old ones
'bedew' and 'bedight'
'bedge' has just now come in.

It's so easy to see its meaning,
why wasn't 'bedge' here before?

'Don't sit on the edge of the bed, '
so much shorter can now be said.

You are very right. New word ever catches mind we always eagerly use it. You have wonderfully expressed, 'bedew' and 'bedight' here. This poem is excellently penned.
