where even the tiniest voice can pinch a nerve

Poetry by:  Calla Britt
"Quillquest"
 
Festoonery
is not a word
Twirl (is)
but (spire)
is (not) a verb
To twirl, to spire
to feel afire...
Wordsmithing
wills
one to face
the world's ire
....................
Dip quill in ink
to quell their insipid rage
But twirl afire
up a spire
to turn your favorite
book's page
