In My Own Dictionary Poem by Sicelo Sithole

In My Own Dictionary



I did not find
A rounded meaning
for the word love
In my own dictionary
So perplexed
as I am now
Tomorrow I will go
to
a philosopher,
a criminal,
a counselor,
a linguist,
a pastor,
a janitor
a mathematician
and a five year old child
To hear
their views
On such
Fragile matters

As each one who seeks to find a way to express What can only be a sense, no more or less, Of a feeling between objects two (Even with an inanimate one will do.) My favorite is 'English Synonymes' by George Crabb, published in 1849 by Harper & Brothers. s
