Wallflowers- Poetry Response

this poem was kind of interesting. it was just straight up weird though. 
so yes - it is about how this poet views words- new words particularly. she loves words so much that she speaks of them like children, or like little babies that need to be "loved" or "taken care of." she certainly uses personification in this poem towards words, as if when people do not speak or write them, they either wait bitterly longing for someone to say them or patiently and shy. it is apparent that this poet loves writing, she loves new words and learning new ways of speaking - so much that she wants to write a somewhat silly poem and gently giggle about it. the poem was just straight up weird. i mean, the tone was light and somewhat edgy. However, the edginess is just kind of annoying. Maybe because i dont see unsaid words as a serious ordeal. It is interesting though to hear a poet's perspective on it. she certainly has an open heart and a great deal of love in her heart you can tell - for she wants to make room for all the words and have them come out and play with her. muahaha
but i wasnt so much of a fan of the poem myself
