Some Words are Wallflower Words.

"Wallflowers" by Donna Vorreye sounds like it isn't about words, but it is. This poem brings words that aren't used to life by explaining how there are words that aren;t used very ofter and are the wallflowers of words. She uses words in the poem like gegenshein and zoanthropy which don't relate to the poem at all and mean almost nothing. It makes me think about why she wrore this poem. What made her think about unused words? The whole poem is a personification of words which makes in enteresting.

  1. They do mean something though; and there is a lot of personification. What else? More please.

    P.S. Interesting--not with an "e." :)
