Writing with words. Fling them around if you will.

It's a wide open art,

from the start.

Rules are for schools.

Dont fret em,

forget em.

So

Relax with a syntax,

clown around,

with a pronoun.

Squeeze the ******

of a dangling participle.

 

Free flying like geese,

creative words release,

make it up if you please.

Example--the plural of mice is meese.

 

Flowery language isn't the exclusive domain of the professional writer, it's for everyone!

To continue then,

about the writers pen.

No write or wrong,

nothings too short or long.

Mangled,

bungled,

butchered,

bumbled, don't matter.

We don't need a librarian to admire what we have done.

 

Words aren't hard,

fling them unbarred.

It's not arithmetic,

or teaching a cat a trick.

Crunch them uniting,

mix them combining.

Fling them,

meld them,

Verb them,

sell them.

We don't need a New York Times best seller to enjoy the art of writing.

 

Uncrate it,

create it.

Use it,

and abuse it.

Don't bar us

from a thesaurus

Or a dictionary.

The spiel

is to write real

tell the tale

seal the deal.

WORD HATERS live in the town called Fictionary.
