Candled Lucubration's
~*Marge Tindal*~
    
Mid-of-thought in nocturnal pause
dreamy word-visions … just because~

Candled phrases of pure poetic amaze
descend in flurry to waiting page~

Then upon lucid light of day
inking heart … here on display~



Word of the Day for Monday April 26, 2004
www.dictionary.com

lucubration \loo-kyoo-BRAY-shun,loo-kuh-\, noun
1. The act of studying by candlelight, nocturnal study, meditation.
2. That which is composed by night, that which is produced by meditation in retirement, hence (loosely) any literary composition.

Lucubration comes from Latin lucubratus, past participle of lucubrare, "to work by night,composed at night (as by candlelight)," ultimately connected with lux, "light."
Hence it is related to lucent, "shining, bright," and lucid, "clear."
The verb form is lucubrate.




~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

Dear Marge;  Want to bet this is the only poem you'll read in this lifetime, using the word "lucubration!"

Marge, your poetry is so enlightening. I
always love to read it, even if I don't
always know the words to reply. In each
poem of yours that I read, you teach me something....
either about poetry, or about life. Thank you.
Hugs
