Word Watch
Jittery seems a nervous word;
snuggle curls up around itself.
Some words fit their meanings so well:
Abrupt. Airy. And my favorite--
sesquipedalian,
which means: having lots of syllables.
From the most excellent Tap Dancing on the Roof by Linda Sue Park. A poem about words and their meaning seems most appropriate for poetry month.
