my deliquium:

a shadow crosses this heart

when you are not near

 

Recognized

Author Notes
Today's word: deliquium (n.) a fainting, a swooning; a total eclipse.

My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.

Thanks for reading.
