Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Just the Right Word

Miss Emily had heard it said,

Saying a word, she should beware

That once spoken, the word was dead.

So, Miss Emily took great care

Not to say a word, but to write

The word into a poem by her.

Of course the word had to be right

Before she wrote it down for sure.

Miss Emily asked fate to give

Her the right word that she would need,

Then that word would forever live

In Miss Emily's verse indeed.

Miss Emily's asking occurred,

I came to her, just the right word.
