Each dawn, a gift arrives unseen, a syllable, a seed, a sheen. From __Merriam-Webster’s__ careful keep, to __Dictionary.com’s__ bright leap. The __New York Times__ may whisper sly, a word to tilt the reader’s eye. While __Vocabulary Ninja__ strikes, with stealthy terms and sudden spikes. And __Britannica,__ sage and grand, extends its lexiconic hand. But I will not decide alone, your voices shape the daily tone. Select the source, cast votes with care, the one most chosen will be there. So I will rise, each day anew, to shape a poem from what is true: a word, a spark, a fleeting flame, reborn in rhythm, breath, and name. Three hundred sixty-five small rites, inked in mornings, sung in nights. A lexicon becomes my stage, each page a prayer, each hush a page. By year’s end, a woven tome, a dictionary turned to home. For every word, a verse, a song, a daily vow to carry on.

The Word-of-the-Day Challenge, 2026
Confusion in life is normal. Everyone has experienced the maw Of life devouring our senses. The beat and rhythm of fantasy May come bittersweet in the end Or may not come at all, But what's important is to enjoy Every aspect of life from The spectrum of one's own death To the graceful and yet elusive Happy ending.

Day 117
I never knew that the sound of those raindrops on my window the scent of wet soil after rain the melodies of these songs on my spotify playlist could remind me of you remind me of the sound of your lovely laughter remind me of the scent of your sweet perfume remind me of the sound of your sleepy voice — I never knew that missing you could be this tough.

Delicate
Daydreaming of better things of lovely things of saddening things Daydreaming of Him who I wondered ever really loved me or did it mean no more Daydreaming of the life that was not mine the life I left behind the life I could not find Daydreaming of something I do not deserve yet yearn for with no reserve Daydreaming of things so harsh and deep the ocean swallows me whole and into quicksand I seep Daydreaming of the life I thought I desired of the life I was inspired but never became reality Daydreaming of better things that became worser things That became dangerous things Daydreaming Of things I don't understand Yet yearn for What nonsense, I am.

Daydreaming
A man, a movement, Whose words stung like a Bee, But had the masses floating to him, When he spoke about peace, He shook up the World like he said he would, And twisted our perceptions of what it meant to be a true hero, And for that we thank you.

Ali – A movement
I guess I'll wait. I'm Sick of taking a risks with women that don't compare to you. Maybe its too late, and trust me it makes me happy to know somebody is taking care of you. I know I've made mistakes and at times I wasn't being fair to you. I'm only human, I'll be your friend, you know I'm always here for you. It's seems impossible , that one day you'll come back and we'll be something. But I'll wait for you, even if that means I'm waiting for nothing.

I'll wait
There are no boundaries, so why do I feel like I'm boxed in? You chose your path right? Hmm but who supplied your options? Lets get this right. If someone presents you options in your life, then already your path is manipulated. So who simulated your decisions for where you are now situated? Your friends and family speak but who's thoughts are coming out of their mouth . Is that something you've even thought about? I dare you to describe me, I'm sorry but the colour of my face and a place can't define me. Nothing can surprise me, how much do we respect ourselves, If how much money you make gives you a place in this society. I guess we've never known anybody our whole life, because ever since you came out of your mother. We've been getting moulded, corrupted and watched on by big brother.

Never known anybody
You could have seen her complexion, in the reflection of my eyes from a mile away. Just like the sunrise, I sensed her light, as if she smiled with rays. What a way to start the day, blinking years but it was timeless, It was priceless, I was infirm, she produced a cure like a scientist. Any part of her body can touch my skin and make me shiver. To resist her, its like taking off your jacket in a Siberian winter. Immortalised in pictures and scriptures we had written, We ruled our land but with powerful questions are great answers that are hidden.

elysium
I don't want to hear a promise, unless it involves your happiness. I just want you to promise me you'll be fine. When you stand still, the world keeps moving. So promise me you'll make the best out of your time. I don't need to hear a promise, unless it involves your laugh. Just promise me you'll build dreams, be free and make them last.
