Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Very true, Debbie. A shade of meaning with a different word can make the difference between a compliment and a sarcastic insult, for example.
>> to not use them just anywhere.
I think the meter would be better if you rearranged these words like this:
to use them not just anywhere.

Comment from El Coyote
In a few lines, you've captured the essence of creative writing. The rhyme and meter were very smooth. What I like most of all is your focus on finding meaning in the words we choose and use. That process, I believe transfers very well to many other aspects of life, finding meaning that is. Well done.

Comment from royowen
You are so right about the choice of words when trying to communicate the the most desired message we can. A lot of people may think they are poets, and to ascertain degree that is true! Some are gifted in certain styles. This is a nicely written sonnet, the descriptive language is good, the aabbcc rhyme scheme is good, the meter is nice and even! Blessings, Roy.
