Exceptional A love poem A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities : Crossroads by CD Richards

Was it luck, or was it fate caused our lives to decussate? You on your way, I on mine; intersecting, they combined. Far we've come, there's far to go; summer's sunshine, winter's snow. Life's a journey, we'll depend on each other, 'til the end. When it's over, our last laugh will be our shared epitaph— "Thanks for showing me the sun; so long, friend, it's sure been fun!"   Recognized Author Notes Today's word: decussate (v.) to mark with an X, to cross or intersect into an X shape. My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book. Thanks for reading.
