There are times when the search for the right word eludes,

When a thesaurus won’t find the encapsulation of thought,

That triggered the search,

When 'tip of the tongue', 'edge of the mind', thought protrudes,

Poking the brain insane,

It has to be the ‘right’ word,

The word that says exactly what you mean,

A word that will be heard,

In the passage as you dream,

When you’re dancing you’re prancing, romancing, or gliding,

When you’re hiding you’re biding, backsliding, or more,

A death brings a passing, a sadness, a mort,

A wedding a joyful, celebration with thought,

No action, reaction, rebirthing, or line,

Can express with the wrong word the meaning of rhyme,

It must be the right word the correct or the only word,

It must be the right word that’s heard!
