                    Dylan Thomas, in  his piece "On the words in poetry," describes his first encounter with words and how he became to love them. He states " O did not care what the words said,overmuch, not what happened to Jack and Jill and the Mother Goose rest of them; I cared for the sound that their name, and the words made in my ears." Furthermore, illustrating the idea that one is never to young to appreciate words. They can be appreciated simply by there sound. Later on he moves on to stating," And as I read more and more, and it was not all verse, by any means, my love for the real life of words increased until I knew that I must live with them and in them always..." This meaning that words are not just letters put together to form a beautiful sound but they can be the speakers paintbrush to create a magnificent piece of art.

                    I agree with Mr. Thomas, in the sense that words can be a stupendous palette. They all make different sounds and put together they make an exquisite piece. However, one does not  simply need to hear their sound but know how to use them correctly. If there is no talent then what good are they? They are just blown away by the wind without having a single purpose.
