Word Arrangements Poem by Rachel Hughes

Word arrangements are a poet's favorite toy.
Words are arranged to bring expressions of emotions,
Like love and joy.
Like putting flowers in a vase,
Poets put words in their place.
They can be arranged like a dozen roses, spending time in sunlight.
Or arranged to bring a chill, Like a cold, dark winters night.
Words can be arranged softly and read like a whisper.
Or there arranged to be heard as destructive, Like a cyclone or twister.
Poets combine rhymes, phrases, sentences, all made of words.
For so many ticking hours
Arranging them like a landscape of flowers.
