Give Me a Dictionary


 


Give me a dictionary


I love the smell of the pages


And I will read every entry


For each word has


A story of its own.


From despondency to elation


And calmer verbage in between


Any word can cause a spark


That sends me on a journey


So give me a dictionary


There are worlds yet to explore

A clever and well written, words are powerful and always intriguing...I took a class when I was in college, History of the English Language...it was a great class that was never boring, we researched several dictionaries and was given a word a day to research, it was a lot of fun and a learning experience! Great write!

I LOVE dictionaries! The word also rhymes with canaries! I also have loved the smell of books since I was a kid. I used to walk through the library pulling random books from the shelves, opening them to the middle pages, and jamming my nose to the "gutter" to take a deep breath full of paper and printer's ink. mmmmm.

The librarians were rarely amused by this activity and almost always shoooed me back to the children's section, asking if my mother was around anywhere. He he.

Loved your poem Elizabeth! You're a creative soul with a gentle spirit, and I always enjoy reading your AD pages.

Jill

I'm addicted to book sniffing, old, new and inbetween, as for gloosy mags....(I think I need help)
Colling words is fun, remembering how to spell is the diffikult byte...
