that last couplet does sum it all up. . .selection of the correct word is so important. Many writers are careless int hat and then, there are times that the correct word evades us like the last pea on a plate. . .
good poem

Sometimes I have a whole poem written except one word. Eventually it comes, but sometimes hours later. Thank you, my friend~Debbie
Comment from manicblue
Good use of enjambment (lines flowing into others to complete a thought). Solid aabb rhyme except ending couplet.
Words are more than just a few letters thrown together. Your poem clearly states the argument for this ("a certain meaning we convey"). Take care my friend.

Debbie, this is a write in which we all can relate and be reminded of how important word choice and placement can be in every write. Meaning is so very important. The a-a-b-b rhyme is solid with sound meter. Nice. :0 GracieAnn

Just love the message of this one. We surely do mold our words like clay. Clever use of descriptive wording, nice progression, rhythm and flow. Clever photo too, Deb

Debbie, an exceptional piece of poetry right from the get-go.
Your rhymes were neither forced, labored or sprained in your rhythm flow so smoothly throughout your poem which makes it so easy for me to read your poem clearly. Your poem is very illuminative, enriching and inspirational and definitely shows your inventiveness. Thank you so much for sharing a posting your work and may the Lord be with you always.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Re: your author's notes: Indeed we do, Debbie, and great care must be taken in certain writing too, for we also "mold" young minds sometimes, even influence 'older' minds - that pen really is mighty! This poem is mighty!
I not only enjoyed the weaving of it, but I love the vital message!

Hi Debbie,
I think, we as people, that live for our words are more sensitive to their use... and the power they wield... yet it is still the heart behind the hand that creates the usage.
Love the message your wonderfully constructed poem gave... love the ones that linger in thought.
With our thoughts we create,
words of wisdom,

Hi, dear friend. I know that I am much more careful with words since I started writing. Sometimes I have a whole poem written except one word. Eventually it comes, but sometimes hours later. Thank you, my friend. I hope you are feeling better. You are in my thoughts and prayers~Debbie
Comment from Selina Stambi
Pondering over this or that,
whether we should use 'cap' or 'hat' ... I smiled! I spend a lot of time going over a write and quibbling with myself over words, debating the nuances of meaning.
Debbie, how well you've described the heart of a true, effective writer.
Great aabb quatrains and final couplet.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Love,

The message within this poem is very true. Not only in poetry, but in writing novels a word chosen, or not chosen can make a large difference.
Thanks for sharing this. JW
