"Playing With Words"

Greg Budig 2020

Pen to paper. 

Playing with words. 

Trains of thought passing.

 Searching for the 

perfect conclusion. 

Images are so vivid yet 

cluttered with sentences,

punctuation and words...

so many words. 

Fingers tap the keyboard. 

Mind adrift. A free form

assault on literary expression.

How do you get there? Where 

is this going? Why did I write 

that? What was I thinking?

An internal voice speaks the

 words that need to be written.

Words that need to be said. 

Finding the process. 

Defining your voice. 

Sorting and sifting through 

thoughts and inspiration. 

The twist of a phrase.

Knowing when to be clever 

and being clever enough to 

know when. Always changing.

Looking for the right words. 

Reading out loud in hoarse 

muted tones. Like tasting 

each sentence as it rolls in 

your mouth.  Feeling your 

tongue speak your words in 

the dark,whispering 

sentences to unravel their 

sound. To discover their 

rhythm. To bring them to life. 

Who is the writer?

Simply someone who writes?

Listening to voices inside 

of your head. 

Pen to paper. 

Tapping on keyboards. 

Reading out loud. 

Changing and moving. 

Playing with words. 

The End
