I Came upon Some Words

I Came Upon Some Words by Kenn Nesbitt

I came upon some words that had
been scattered on the ground
as if someone had tossed them there
in hopes that they’d be found.

I picked them up and brought them home.
I read them, one by one,
then started rearranging them
in sentences for fun.

The sentences formed stanzas
on the floor throughout my home.
I know it might seem strange but
that is how I made this poem.

I took the words outside again
and scattered them around.
I tossed them out and left them there
in hopes that they’d be found.

So, if you come upon these words
I hope you bring them home
and play with them to see if you
can make another poem.
