remembering the intrigue of a spelling list (on finding an old one)
company
all I need
let it be gentle
sword
a word for a boy
as is
soldier
hard to spell
sound it out
so it doesn’t sound like itself
sold-i-er sold-i-er
like solder
or shoulder
or solider
or Soledad
my fortune teller’s
name
fortune
rolls from this
if there is such a thing
I search for it every day
turning over a card
The Devil, Death, a Pentacle
clean
under my nails
the car, the house
my teeth
life is cleaning
home
hard to imagine
the misspell of this
though it must have been
asked
a key
to basked and masked
learn one word
to make many
day
leads to daybreak
day-away daydream
the ‘y’ a possum tail
left
in general for holding
the magic hand
skilled in steadying ways
round
evokes its own shape
though it doesn’t on the page
it’s a trick of the mouth
smart
small smite smack smidge
art fart cart, play to remember,
build, smarty pants
great
adventure, adventure was
learnt easy, easily remembered
so why not ‘great’
just like ‘eat ‘
easy
peasy (of course)
a zed or a zee would be nice
possum tail swish
language
made it
gauge it
goes
and it goes and it goes
(woes) that rampant ‘e’
measurement
so long
it meant?
balance
between phonetics
and memory
solution
is an ending word
searching for patterns
searching for patterns
:) lovely (with a possum tail), Sarah
