your meaning wafts

through the air

as you speak

the weight of your words

like a warm blanket

of delicious knowledge

under which i thrive

i pilfer a noun

pairing it with a purloined verb

then carry them home with me

in the last sunlight of the day

"I pilfer a noun, pairing it with a purloined verb"
Your knowledge of the English language serves you well in your poetry,
and to include it in your poetry is pure genius.

I am not sure I know the difference ( but I fake it quite well ) (I think)

Always enjoy your work.

Reading is a joy you never outgrow and "borrowing " those nouns and verbs to bring sunshine to your life at a later time is one of its many gifts. Wonderful poem, Lydi, I really enjoyed reading it.

very nice very nice,
I want to know the meaning of thrive

[Lydia Shutter]

Thrive means to flourish, to prosper, to succeed....though it was not used in the poem. Hope that helps you. Thanks for stopping by. Lydi*

under which i thrive
i pilfer a noun
pairing it with a purloined verb this will help me at large extent
