fidget word

The one word that wouldn’t sit still in the poem.

bigger than that

A theme that couldn’t be reduced to a single word or a short phrase.

with one word

Leaning in a corner of the room, I saw the word “reconciliation” painted in neat letters on a board. I start to worry about my brain when I experience a single word as a self-contained poem.

from a small flame

That one word was the pilot light which ignited the poem.

that word

A word you want to build a poem around.
