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!

trencherman

Today's word is

trencherman

Ha!  Perfect for today.  At least, I hope it is perfect for you.  Lots of people want to be or act as trenchermen but don't get the opportunity.

Eat up and enjoy.  I am still sick and still, therefore, behind on these poems, but I am thankful that these are pretty much the worst things I can say about my life today.  I hope the complaints of your own life are equally inconsequential, and if not, I wish you strength until they are and merriment along the way.

*****
Tuesday, 12:58 a.m.

Sit at the table of life
with the gusto of a trencherman
and be grateful that you can.

Count celery.
Count strawberry-flavored one-calorie sips.
Count fat grams and reps upon the rack.

But count yourself lucky
while you count what you have.
