A collaboration over too much coffee.

Words

Words are bricks
Words are mortar
Words are water
Words are sand....

Used properly
They conjure up edifices
Or
A nameless tomb.

(c) Max Babi Feb.2005

One of the poems read out at the 13th Feb Readmeet [Pune].

The meaning that I think you're trying to convery through this poem - that a writer can use his words to different effects - is so similar to the feeling I get while reading this poem. I mean I see so many different perspectives and each justifiably so.; 17 February, 2005 12:12
