Fancy Words

When talking to be understood

Writing words to be explained

Bare essential simple meanings

Nothing else in there contained

Mellifluous  is soundly smooth
Superfluous unneeded
Cantankerous may get your goat
And leave nefarious unheeded

A candid prose with clarity

Described as short and to the point

Where nothing said leaves any doubt

How massaged words may well anoint

Limerence a smothering love
Iridescently intense
Such luminescence overpowering
To hail your eloquence immense

Can it be that words are fancy

To make impressions cream and fluffy

Like the icing on the sweetest cake
Or merely pompous and quite stuffy

Popularity is a favoured word
Sometimes ephemeral or expensive
Maybe the cost of fancy words
Make convoluted seem extensive
