14 Lines of Words

I am a lover of words

Being erudite has been my milieu

Curiosity alone is my driving force

Not from a snobs point of view

I love a big word that can be defined

Into smaller and smaller and bits

I admit to being a true logophile

Bordering on logomaniac fits

I become obsessive with needing to know

A new word that comes to my attention

Its etymology, usage, and pronunciation

I need to use it in my next sentence

Yes, I am a true logophile, I admit

Are there any self-help groups out there
