Foundation:
Who has shaped your idiolect?
Title.
My old love
(A lone voice whispers)
Within old letters sent that still create such powerful emotions that wills my very soul to genuflect
And on favourite photographs upon which I have wept
Memories of us together shall echo like Notre Dame cathedral bells
Throughout me
For now, I speak
Influenced by your profound idiolect
For all to see

A person’s idiolect in this case relates to:
The all encompassing linguistic impressions left by people you once knew or now know.
From life experiences and language encounters.
What you've read and who you've listened to.
From grandparents, parents, friends, teachers, and lovers.
Who have influenced you.
Do you ever repeat or use similar phrases like someone you know or knew?
Suddenly, unconsciously, right out of the blue!
