The definition of power is the ability to do or act (note that words give us the power to define 'power' in the first place).
Words have the power to produce action in several ways. They can create emotions, moods, and levels of motivation, and can will people to action when they otherwise have sat complacent. They have the power to uplift and improve people's outlook on life, and the power to produce an environment of hate and fear. They can instruct people on a previously vexing problem, and enable people to communicate thoughts that would have otherwise been trapped in the mind of only one person.
Words fulfill the definition of power because they have the ability to create and influence real action.

Elizabeth, in her poem, describes her feelings when catching the fish. She gives a very detailed description of the fish while showing an imagist style while doing so.
For example, she uses the following phrases:
"its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age".
She did not use a rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality like many poets used to do. Instead, she uses 'alliteration' to create rhythm. Such quality consists of repeating the same sound or letter at the beginning of each or most of the words in a sentence.
"still crimped from the strain and snap".
"still crimped from the strain and snap".
