Today’s Throwback Friday poem (originally written in July 2022) is drawn from my third book, Until Eyes Hear Sound. It appears in Chapter 5: Observation, Until Eyes Hear Sound.
A Torn Thesaurus
With my fiddle and riddles
Here in the middle
Of this unopened universe
Time spirals in reverse
Quills fly in from cyberspace
As alien words unravel and interlace
A torn thesaurus is my database
I wonder
Have I landed in the right place?

Lately, I rely more on the Thesaurus to help me remember the word I am looking for than I do for synonyms. I will have a word escape me- but I know what it means- so I look up a similar word- and voile! there it is! hehehehe
