Ordinary Word

Some words

have only one definition,

some has plenty

but these words below

seem suspicious to me.

Example one is bubbly.

I know it as something

that has bubbles

or a person who is cheerful

but also...

As for candy, a sweet yummy

treat with sugar (natural

or artificial), fruits,

and nuts, too

but also...

When you celebrate, you remember,

commemorate, observe a special day,

acknowledge an event

or perform a ceremony

but also...

If you dine, you eat

with your family, your friends,

your colleagues, your workmates,

your special people

but also...

Engage, then, is when you get active,

you participate and be there

in that moment, right there

and right now

but also...

For me, the heart is an organ

in our body, according to biology,

which pumps blood

all day and night

but also...

Love, on the other hand,

is an emotion that is hard to describe,

define and discern in terms of words

because it transcends beyond it,

but also...

I know that a ring is a jewel

worn either on a finger or toe.

It can also be a circular object

or that you are surrounded by something

but also...

And for rose, the past tense of rise

or a garden plant with thorns

or the color pink in some cases

or the name of a person

but also...

Should I define them with another?

No, I guess not.

I'd stick with the mundane

and ordinary because

it's based on the dictionary.
