Poetry Friday






A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

~ Emily Dickinson ~

    I'm with Emily. Besides, don't words become extinct if not used enough? Extinct. Is that the term for dead words?

    I think the term is obsolete, but I knew what you meant!
