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.

Trace, you have poetic talent....a lot of it. Never try to put yourself down in my presence...that's an order! :) Thanks for the review. Lydi**

"purloined verbs", these are the words that always got me tongue tied when I read.. I can see you reading Lydi, French words, and not only carrying them home but then throwing them all over your room until a poem was formed and then shared.. knowledge!!!, now there is a word that needs lots of sunlight.. ~~redzone

[Lydia Shutter]

Absolutely, Curt...knowledge...we are never too old to learn and the process of acquiring knowledge is an adventure. Too many people think they have learned enough at a certain point. You, my friend, are never tongue tied and the image of me throwing words all over the room is making me smile big time! Thank you for reading me and continuing to leave me such "nice" reviews. Lydi**

[redzone]

Lydi, I can take no credit for"nice" reviews, not when you keep writing such "wonderfully nice" poems.. I'll bet right now those words are gathering at you feet hoping you will arrange them into a poem.. ;0)

[Frieda P]

Your words are always magical Lydikey, you can teach me any day...

'pilfering nouns' is that even legal? ;-)

[Lydia Shutter]

Nah, it aint legal, but Vinnie is watching out for the cops when the nouns are pilfered so I am safe! LOL Thanks for the great review, Frieda. Make sure you go and read Curt's latest poem....laughing here.

This is really true.Learning and reading is a gift,Well penned my dear lady :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Vidya. Lydi**

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are most welcome.

Words are very important factor for learning. Sometimes, even a word can teach us something...especially if it came from an admired person.

But in life...our own experiences in our daily basis can teach us more lessons...that's our learning. And perhaps through them we can find the meaning of if not all at least an aspect of our lives.

A meaningful piece, Lydi. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Dh! Lydi**

[paddy d daly]

you describe so well the weight of words yet they do not weigh you down, but quite the opposite
as you carry them home, of course it all depends on the one who speaks the words ;)

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed it does, Paddy. Thank you for your review. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Lydi... like a warm blanket of
delicious knowledge
under which I thrive. The sun
has not risen... but all is perfect
when your poetry smiles.
truly... Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Pat. Lydi**

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

This flowed as if it was done effortlessly from your pen... wonderful write, Lydia.

[Lydia Shutter]

It is great when the words flow easily....when they have to be forced, they do not read as well. Thank you, my friend. Lydi**

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

That is so true.

[Cassie]

nice...and when you carry such a noun and verb home, you come up with such a profound write as this...very well done

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Cassie. Lydi**

[h d e rushin]

I missed you. I mean your music, without even the slightest pretense. Well done.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Dana. Be well. Lydi**

[Lydia Shutter]

This somehow is nostalgia... to me, whether you could be this beautiful person who reads for those little ones, or anyones... or maybe it's a great memory or moment, you want to show us, from your "oma" or even a "teacher"... it gave me a warm feeling, and made me think of my own moments, simular to this one. So very nice Lydi, you always write with much empathic greatness. Knuffels...

What a sweet review....yes, I do have memories of my oma reading to me, but this was about a school situation. Thank you, Elisa. Knuffels, Lydi**
