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!

aggrandize

Today's word is

aggrandize

A lovely, innately expansive word, both generous and mean at the same time somehow.

Enjoy.

Yup, still filling in.

you aggrandized
those moments
just by your presence in them

I will grow old

I already grow old

I already begin
to forget
my keys
my shopping lists
my days
whole eras of my time
but out of tens of thousands of moments
not the five or six with you,
never the five or six with you

they shine

I think I'll know
your face
your voice and hands
when I no longer know
my own name

I hope no one gets hurt
