Synonym

By Shaylynn Hewitt

One word,

Is the same as another

Substitute it,

And see if anyone notices

Two words,

Have the same meaning

Except in the right sentence,

Mean something completely different

Three words,

All interchangeable with another

But I suppose are more like cousins,

Than daughters or sons

Four words,

Well that might just be too many

At what point do words,

No longer mean the same as their mother?

Five words,

All share a family

But who decides where one family ends,

And another begins?
