Word Hunger

I possess a verbose lexicon

Or at least this I've been told

Scouring endless pages until new terms take hold

Senses set alight by the discovery of something new

Synapses dance in rapture with new dialects consumed

-=-

A vivid voracious vortex consuming others' works

Delicious diatribes and diets I hunger for more words!

The new, arcane, or esoteric speaks directly to my mind

Without provocation my mouth yells

"Hey Google please define!"

-=-

Catarct, consternation, calamity, and ire!

Delectable definitions that placate my desire

Panacea, pernicious, platitudes these words they are but food!

Profanities are tasty,

Although others would say crude

-=-

The buffet of all cultures does not in a kitchen dwell,

But deep within all language and kept upon bookshelves

If you're hungry for more knowledge no further must you look,

Get off that thrice hexed phone of yours and open up a book!

-=-

Authors Note: Read a book. Simple as that.

Hope you enjoyed this little mental deluge as I continue to purport to be a poet.

Cheers,
