Words and Writing

Where would I be without my dictionary?
Open it up to
Read and then try to remember
Discoveries made to use in my next
Sentence.

Aaah, easier said than done!
Nevertheless, I persist ...
dictionaryitis (not an entry) having struck

without warning!!
Romping (smile)
Into
The Z's
Is an experience
Not needing to often be repeated or,
Gaining much more than a Yawn (from the preceding letter)
          when zzzzzzz's (as in nap time) are in store for me now !!

Writing is hard work and having tools like a dictionary and thesaurus can really help us make our message more clear. However, as you say in this very insightful write, researching -- or just searching -- too much can bring on the need for naptime zzzs. Most writers can really relate to this one, Sue. Great work! Love, Carolyn

Hi Sue. Thank you for your comments. I truly did edit my poem and that I completely escaped me. However I did mean phrase that the other poets were seeking. I guess it would have been more correct to have inserted an a but that would throw off the meter. I will watch for your poetry. Love, joyce
