With A Wish To Write Words Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I have come to cherish,
This gift I've been given...
With words to create.

I only knew I had been attracted to letters.
Upper case/lower case?
To me it didn't matter.

Then one day I awakened,
With a wish to write words all over the place.
The walls in hallways, cement stars and doors.
I thought they needed written words on them!
What else would they be there for?

'And...? '

And...?
What?

'Is that it?
What about your words? '

I like to use them when I write.
However...
In conversation?
I am mainly submissive.

'Do you prefer upper or lower case? '

That depends on the mood, the setting...
And,
Of course...
The ambiance that sustains,
My attractiveness to the subject.
