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**

I can feel an imaginary blanket draped over my shoulders as I read this. Don't stop writing!

[Lydia Shutter]

Never will! Thanks so much, Rowan. Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

The wording here makes my little English teacher heart sing, Lydi! I love your clever similes!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Rita. Lydi**

Lydi, your meaning never wafts, it settles in, cozy and warm on my mind and heart. There is always a smile hidden somewhere in your writing and fortunately, I always seem to find it. I am wearing it right now. Very fun, nice and warming...

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiles are important in life, Jack. Never lose yours. Thanks for the review. Lydi**

like a warm blanket
of delicious knowledge
under which i thrive... exactly how I feel. I have learned so much about poetry from you Lydi - you are still the teacher...

Julie, you are a sweetheart. Thank you so much. Lydi**

[MsJewel]

You are very welcome :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Now I begin to suspect you a teacher Lydi! It feels like a naughty teacher articulating her desires to her lover!

Smiling here....I WAS an English teacher for one year...hated it. Then I was a Kindergarten teacher for three years. Teaching was really not my thing. I went on to an other profession. Still, I believe we can learn something from every situation in life if we are open to it. Thank you for the review, John. I appreciate it. Lydi**
