I Don't Know What Came Over Me

Then There Was The Time I Lost My Mind for a Month

What is it?

  • This site the fault of Leslee and Patry, via Qarrtsiluni.

    Here's the premise:

    Every day, Dictionary.com publishes a Word of the Day. I will display it here. If I like the word, I will try to come up with a poem using it by the end of the day. If you like the word, go ahead and write your own poem and post it in the comments, also by the end of the day, if you can.

    While you are here, please play nicely with others. Spam will be summarily deleted, as will anything obviously abusive or malicious in my opinion. Also, please note that everything written here remains the intellectual property of whoever wrote it. Therefore, you are not allowed to copy or republish anything here unless whoever wrote the bit you want to use tells you in writing that it's okay.

    Problems? Comments? Write to me, Sara, at SaraArts dot com.

    Have fun with this!

crepuscular

Today's word is

crepuscular

I love this word.  It isn't what it sounds like.  It sounds muscular or pestilent, to my mind's ear.  Yet it is delicate and soft in meaning.  Or it can be.  Depends on how your crepuscule goes, I guess.

More brain dumping.  Just a few lines for this one, but maybe more will develop some other time.  Or maybe there'll be a place for this snippet in some future undertaking. 

A crepuscular blessing
because it's not snow,
silver rain pauses long enough
on the asphalt surface
to turn to glass.
