The Old Dictionary
The Old Dictionary
Denim blue cover
Shabby and faded
Papery stitches nearly lost
Fragrant with the spice of time
Generations of use
By inquisitive hands,
The yellowed pages speak it’s age.
Antiquated?
Yes perhaps
Yet still alive with words and meanings
Ready and waiting
To serve
The next curious mind.
