July 3 writing exercise

write a poem using these words.
Capture Glass Reluctant Light

Why is she reluctant to talk?
Is there something wrong with her voice?
Does she think she’ll get turned into a celery stalk?
Or does she have an unpaid invoice?

Maybe she doesn’t want to turn into glass.
Maybe it’s just too hard to speak.
Or maybe she’s afraid she’ll say something crass.
At least if she writes, she can sound unique.

Maybe she can’t capture her meaning with her mouth.
Maybe she’s better with her ink pen.
Maybe she’s afraid she’ll bring on a drought.
One of the prophets did it, she doesn’t want to do it again.

Well at least she sees the light
That’s something that most people just don’t do.
She knows what she says won’t come out right.
Maybe she’ll try to start anew.
