a word
If you could write a word, would you?
Is it enough to write a word,
for him, if not you?
If you could write a word,
who would you be writing to?
Would you like its sound?
Would you like its taste,
swishing around your mouth?
If you could write a word
would you keep it to yourself
or send it up north,
to live a life unfelt?

Good message
you have here leo. However, the spaces keep distracting me. I think you really don't need them, do you?

thank you, the formatting on here is different than I would like, but when its printed out I wanted the format to include the spaces, just a different style!

I understand
You can leave it as simple formating and work out the spaces as you wish. Too much spaces distract the reader's attention which no one needs.

well, agree to disagree
it looks better in single spaced format, many people use this style, like Richard Siken. just a preference :)
