"I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another." Brenda Ueland


Those little Words, those simple Words,
that fill the silence well,
are they wasted? Thrown away?
Or did they trip – fell?
Are they taken from their home?
Whose roof is made of rhymes,
or did they jump up from their grave,
A tomb of lines and lines,
the meanings of these Words are fair,
they are cool and calm to touch,
so why are they just simple Words,
If the meaning is so easy to clutch?
the Little Words give way to those,
which can move to and fro,
Who come to outshine the Little Words – but fear not!
For they care not at all.
