Dictionary (Senryu) Poem by Sandra Martyres

Well that really is very true Sandra - 'dictionary fear' is seemingly so widespread - - needs to be addressed or no-one will spell correctly..... fine lines....10 + + + Fay

it was so when i was a young student of vernacular medium!

Nice senryu...well we shouldn't be fearing reading a dictionary or any reading material that would make our grammar and english language enhance.20 english vocabulary aday will be great! ! ! Thanks....

hahaha! But I'm skeptic Sandra! How many teachers speak/write correct English today in India...........? ? ? ? I dont think we have to worry about it..............write what you please to write.

hey.. I make lots of grammar mistakes and spelling mistakes.. this is very ammusing write indeed... hey my dear ma'am.. since we are not English.. and from Sub Continent.. I dont think we have to be slavishly English.. R.K Narayan do a satire on this theme in his novel 'The English Teacher'.... anyway this is very nice indeed... with lots of love shan

This is so true, and brings to mind those some of those commenting upon poems, who manage to contradict themselves so perfectly, as to say absolutely nothing! Hope I didn't just do that....heh.

really nice...short but sweet

From your point of view Sandra it must be frustrating to constantly check grammar spelling, and I admire you so much for teaching the English language. However, in Australia some schools don't bother about correct grammar and spelling. So I reckon it depends on the teacher and I think you would be excellent! 10 Karin Anderson

a 10+++ with smile!

The way we use english has nothing to do with compilation in dictionary. Its whether we can contribute anything to the language.
