Ms. Bellacosa wrote this collection of poetry over a period spanning five decades (1966\u20132013). The poems touch upon diverse subjects ranging from the magic of the holidays through the eyes of a child to the search for identity, from addiction to culture clash, from political oppression to indigenous issues, from friendship to love, and more about love. The subject matter is drawn from the author\u2019s observations of human nature, Nature, and animal nature. This poetry collection is truly a \u2018kaleidoscope wardrobe\u2019 of the author\u2019s memories of her life and the people, and other creatures, she has chanced to meet. Though only the first poem in this collection has accompanying sheet music, the author hopes that the reader will be able to hear the music that accompanies each poem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif;\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1276\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/10editinglane.com\/index-html\/writtenwork-html\/front-cover_4th-edition_19-12_best-best-best_kaleidoscope\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?fit=1694%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1694,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Front Cover_4th Edition_19.12_BEST BEST BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?fit=678%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1276\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?resize=463%2C700\" alt=\"\" width=\"463\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?w=1694&amp;ssl=1 1694w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?resize=678%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 678w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1161&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?resize=1016%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1016w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Front-Cover_4th-Edition_19.12_BEST-BEST-BEST_KALEIDOSCOPE-scaled.jpg?resize=1355%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1355w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #042475; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>About the Author <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">Ms. Bellacosa started writing as soon as she could hold a pencil, and has continued ever since.

It is intended for the more passionate student of English, those interested in linguistics, and those who are simply curious about where words come from. It is expected that it will help the user to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the meanings of words and an expansion of the user\u2019s vocabulary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Word Origin\u00a0Dictionary Project, which I have given the name \u201cOriginary,\u201d is\u00a0meant to be a vehicle to aid in writing the dictionary based on word origins in much less time than it would take for one person to accomplish such a monumental task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The word origin dictionary I have envisioned is one that I have worked on for two solid years, and have written the framework or outline for already. What is needed is to fill in the definitions by carefully writing them based upon a particular method and order which I have formulated based upon the goal of listing the words that come from a particular root word in the order in which they appeared, thereby showing their historical, cultural, linguistic, and logical evolution. I have also formulated a list of dictionaries and encyclopedias to be used and the order in which they should be referenced in writing the definitions. In this way, the words defined build upon one another, and each word that appears is based upon the previous word or words and gains some nuances of meaning from them and adds some nuances of meaning to them. The student of English will gain immensely in terms of understanding the word, or words, in terms of the actual grasp they will have on the meaning, or meanings. Also, they will gain immensely from the mnemonic aid that comes from reading words that are spelled and pronounced similarly, and which have similar and related meanings; and in this way, will be able to build a larger and more powerful vocabulary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Each entry in the Word Origin Dictionary will be listed under the ultimate root word, or &#8220;etymon,&#8221; from which it is derived. For this reason, the words will be listed in simple, alphabetical order on a &#8220;Word List&#8221; page of the website and will contain hyperlinks; so, when the user clicks on a word in the Word List, they will be taken to the word and its definition where it appears under its root word, and among its related words in its &#8220;word family.&#8221; As mentioned, is from root words, or etymons, that other words are formed or derived. In rare cases, some words stand alone with no other words derived from them. A good example of an etymon is\u00a0the Latin word <em>aedes, -is, <\/em>which means &#8220;building.&#8221; From <em>aedes,\u00a0-is,<\/em>\u00a0the following words are derived:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>aedile <\/strong>(i&#8217;-d\u00a0 l&#8221;;id&#8217;- l) <em>n. <\/em>a civil official in ancient Rome who superintended public buildings, among other duties<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>edifice<\/strong> (ed&#8217;- -f s) <em>n.<\/em>\u00a01. a building, esp. a large stately one 2. an abstract organization<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>edify<\/strong> (ed&#8217;- \u00a0-f\u00a0 &#8221;) <em>v.t.<\/em> [orig. sense from I Cor. 14, etc.: to build up the church and\/or the soul toward moral and spiritual perfection] to instruct and improve morally and spiritually<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the Word Origin Dictionary, as previously mentioned, the words that are derived from the root word are to be presented in the order in which they were first used or recorded. In this way, the linguistic evolution of the words will be made easily apparent to the user of the dictionary. Also, there is the added benefit of showing how the different words and meanings have evolved from a previous word. Ultimately, the evolutionary pattern of many words in the English language are similar to a family tree pattern, such as the ones used in family genealogy charts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There is no way to know for certain when many words were first spoken or written, or first came into usage. Nonetheless, through the centuries, writers of word lists, dictionaries, and encyclopedias have labored to estimate the precise time that such words first came into usage. Especially as pertains to very old words, &#8220;word historians&#8221; have had to make their best guesses as to when they first came into existence and how certain etymons and other words were spelled and pronounced. They have accomplished this based on their knowledge of the languages that the words came from; from the patterns of their syntax, grammar, pronunciation, and definitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Advantages of Using a Derivational Dictionary<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The use of a derivational dictionary\u00a0in the early years of language study may not be suitable for all. To this author&#8217;s knowledge, the effect on students of the use of such a language learning method from an early age has not been studied in depth. This is an area that is of interest and merits study. In any case, the study of language through the use of a derivational dictionary is certainly of value to any student of language who has reached a certain age and level of competency in their reading and writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">For a student of English, there are two primary advantages to using a derivational, as opposed to a conventional, dictionary. The first is to study the definitions of words in such as way as to better be able to memorize and retain the words. This is accomplished through the use of associations or mnemonic devices. The second purpose is to learn and retain more words, as with the learning of the definition of one word comes the learning of more words and their definitions. The words that are derived from a root word, or etymon, may be seen as belonging to a &#8220;family&#8221; of words having a common ancestor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">An additional advantage to studying definitions from a derivational dictionary is that the student may also see that many etymons have &#8220;brother&#8221; or &#8220;sister&#8221; etymons in related languages. This gets the student of English into the area of linguistics, as it involves relationships between words of different languages. However, the same general rules of syntax, grammar, pronunciation, and spelling apply to all languages. The main advantage to this is that a student may come into contact with more than one root language, and in doing so, develop an appreciation of the inherent similarity, as well as the rich diversity, of all languages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The student of English can even envision, in the distant future, a naturally developed &#8220;world language&#8221; that will perhaps evolve as a &#8220;pidgin&#8221; language from the world\u2019s languages; while the individual languages retain their individual characters. Esperanto is an example of a world language that exists today and is studied and used by many people. However, it is a synthetically developed language. Another is international sign language, which is not communicated through sound but through sight, and also through the sense of touch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Originary<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>The Word Origin Dictionary Project<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">Angela Bellacosa, Editor<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">Originary; Originary.org<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">10 Editing Lane; angela@10editinglane.com<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">Seattle, Washington<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">206-380-2278<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">E-mail address: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\">angela@10editinglane.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Copyright \u00a9 2025 Originary.net<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0d2259; font-family: times new roman, times, serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #042475; font-size: 32px;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif;\">Timeline to Tyranny<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"width: 90%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: solid; border-color: #042475; background-color: #fafafa;\" border=\"4%\" cellpadding=\"4%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%; text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1071\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/10editinglane.com\/index-html\/?attachment_id=1071\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/swinging-watch-timeline-to-tyranny.jpeg?fit=600%2C560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,560\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"swinging watch &amp;#8211; timeline to tyranny\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/swinging-watch-timeline-to-tyranny.jpeg?fit=600%2C560&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1071\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/swinging-watch-timeline-to-tyranny.jpeg?resize=485%2C453\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/swinging-watch-timeline-to-tyranny.jpeg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/10editinglane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/swinging-watch-timeline-to-tyranny.jpeg?resize=300%2C280&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px;\"><em>Timeline to Tyranny<\/em> is a work in progress.

On July 4th, 1776, at the Second Continental Congress, the representatives of the thirteen colonies adopted The Declaration of Independence. Through this document, the colonists\u2019 declared their independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain and stated their reason for doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Today, at this critical juncture in American history, almost 250 years since the American colonists bravely fought the American Revolutionary War, which they won in 1783, we present-day Americans find ourselves in the oppressive and exploitative situation of having been re-colonized, in a sense, by a new cast of ultra-wealthy, elitist, authoritarian rulers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The billionaire oligarchs and their predecessors, who have been working successfully for several decades, in the present era of extreme corruption and extreme inequality (i.e., since the JFK assassination\/coup of 1963), to gradually rob us of our constitutional rights, freedoms, and protections, and thereby obtain tyrannical control over our political, economic, and social systems \u2014 including our elections, media, educational system, and industry \u2014 are dragging the rest of us with them as they rush headlong toward the abyss of total destruction. This abyss has the features of extreme global warming, the sixth mass extinction of species, endless war and militarization and mass surveillance, growing numbers of increasingly large and rapacious monopolies and oligopolies, dangerous levels of industrial and military chemical toxins in the environment, an agricultural system that produces increasingly unhealthy food and is increasingly polluting and destructive to the wholesomeness and fertility of farmland, inhumanely underfunded healthcare and other social safety net programs, the ongoing crisis of the 600,000-plus homeless population, an insanely underfunded and mismanaged education system, and a broken justice system along with a swollen mass incarceration system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">For the purpose of this book, the ultimate question is: why do people continue, after so many millennia of history, religion, philosophy, and science relating to this phenomenon, continue to allow the ultra-wealthy sociopaths and narcissists to seize power and take over their governments and societies?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Why do people allow history to repeat itself in this manner still today? Why do the people allow the pendulum to swing back, and forth, and back again? How can the pendulum simply be stopped at the optimal position in this maddening and repetitive cycle? How can it be that people never seem to figure out that the pattern is predictable, and figure out ways to stop the pendulum at some optimal position where the people have optimal levels of freedom, justice, equality, general well-being, and the opportunity to reach their potential? These things are basic to people\u2019s natural desires. Why do people start forgetting their own history? Why do people start forgetting and ignoring the dangers that lie in wait to take away their rights and freedoms? And once the wolves have begun attacking and destroying the people\u2019s natural rights and freedoms, why do people wait till their pain is so great as to be intolerable before they will mobilize into full revolt to restore them?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #042475; font-size: 32px;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Prayers and Meditations<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #042475; font-size: 32px;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">for 12-Steppers<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"width: 90%; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #0d2259;\" border=\"4%\" cellpadding=\"4%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%; text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">From the Foreword:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The purpose of this book of prayers and meditations, <strong><em>Prayers and Meditations for 12-Steppers,<\/em><\/strong> is to strengthen the member of any 12-step program in their spiritual growth by giving them some quotes from spiritual literature to read and meditate over.
