Open Dictionary

at dawn i hug an armful of words - open dictionary.

i toss them in the air like confetti confectionary.

like sherbert they’re my own flavor’d dialect creamery.

i t a l i c s  and     bold,  often deliciously  contrary.

a twirling baton, orchestrated seriously — ‘musingly.

sadly twilight, strong and full of bright, smashingly

whispers “goodnight” and tucks away my darling poetry.

yawn...morning stars dreamily arrive on time, quickly.

new dawn, perchance happens upon an open dictionary.

Kim, I love the thought of tossing words from an "open dictionary" into the air. Just look at the inspiration you have here! Very clever. Best wishes, Carolyn
