Je ne sais quoi – I don’t know what…

“I never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful”

unknown

Right after finishing my first book The Unspoken: An anthology from the ballad of the mind second edition, couple months later I started on my second book which is still in the process 47 pages in, titled Logorrhea: Building Your vocabulary with words Xs, whew! that’s long. The idea of this book is to find unusual words for each letters in the alphabet (not limited to English words) and write a poem according to what their meanings are (spoiler alert), so in essence an education and entertainment. Now, how I got the idea for this book? that’s a story for another time. Now to the title of this post.

Je ne sais quoi

Within my line of sight
There is something that attracts me
Can’t quite word it

Is it the beauty within?
Like an autumn evening
With vibrant colours

Or is it freshly bloomed flowers
Just after the white had melt
and the sun peeks over the edge it’s thawing warmth is felt?

[image error]I don’t know what…

Indicating something new is on the horizon
The birth of spring…

Mm, she has that little bit of something.

Je ne sais quoi literally means “I don’t know what” in French. The phrase was borrowed into English as an expression of a quality that makes something or someone attractive, distinctive, or special in some way, but is hard to put into words.
