In a world where language feels increasingly worthless, one indie poet dares to ask: "Just What a Word's Worth?"
Forget the fleeting chat and the shallow scroll. This ebook is a turbulent, thrilling ride into the heart of what it means to be alive, to connect, and to confront the terrifying unknown. From the electrifying pulse of shared humanity to the chilling, insect-ridden horror under a crimson sky, and from the desperate battle against insomnia to the ultimate, ironic twist of fate, these poems defy boundaries.
You'll encounter dancing cats and demons, find solace in nature, and face down existential dread – all delivered with a unique blend of dark humour, sharp observation, and unbridled imagination. If you're ready for poetry that doesn't just entertain but penetrates and provokes, then crack open this collection. It's a must-read that proves, much like William Wordsworth himself showed us, the true power of language is worth every single moment.

About the Author
Just What a Word’s Worth.
Educated
Sat down
Frowned upon
Chalk dust
Sneezing
Handwriting
Unbelieving
S and F
No difference
Confused and distant
Don’t know
What a word’s worth
History or
Geography
Mixed in
To chemistry
The day a blur
The bullies wait
Homework
Too much
Life is not great
And a little brain
Memory stick
With gigabytes of space
Cannot fathom out
This human race
And words are only
Cryptic problems
Unrelated to that
Choice of life
That could be
But lying on the bed
Or settee
Dreaming of being a rock star
Or some actor
And the days
Fly by
Ever so faster
And all the time
We don’t know
What a word is worth
In this day and age
Words are mutilated
Abbreviated
Slanged off
Slashed to bits
Until there is
No meaning to it
And when words
Have no meaning
And we’re too lazy
To reply
Bored with messaging
But we don’t know why
We send little yellow
Faces in different
Expressions
Emoticons are the new rage
In this wordless age
And money is made
From gifs and the animated
When two words would do
But in this day
Of super technology
We still don’t know
What a word is worth
Paper and pen
Back to the start again
Not a messy quill
Just Bic and ink in plastic
Miracles can be made
In black and white
After midnight
Demon thoughts
Are set alight
So imaginary
We let the lines flow
And show the world
What a word is worth
And we scorn the new age
Where books are burned for fuel
Where authors have sweated
Tormented
Bringing you new stories
So cool
And now we discard
Everything that needs intelligence
To dissect
To entertain
Our muted brains
And when we open a book
Our eyes light up again
Digesting words we have forgotten
Laughing at old jokes
Alighting embers in our brains
With our hands full of soot
And days like these
Are glorious days
As we gobbled down information
In a delightful way
Or real or fantasy
Or evil or good
Reading a paragraph
Creates intelligence in the blood
That flows
Like a good story
And the world turns
Back to the good times
And the world will see
How good you were to me
Bringing me smiles
Being happy
Since my birth
I only wanted to know
Just what a word is worth.
