Exceptional Sorry, Winston... A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities : We shall fight... by CD Richards

I believe it is far better to give out than to receive I believe those punished without justice worthy of reprieve I believe a man can be brought down by one small, wagging tongue I believe the joys of youth are often wasted on the young I believe that Churchill, though revered, could sometimes be quite trite I believe of anaphora we have had our fill tonight Recognized Author Notes Today's word: anaphora (n.) a figure of speech that repeats a sequence of words at the start of successive clauses. 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.
