Today's word: steganogram (n.) a coded text or message.

The subject today is puzzles and hidden messages, so I think it's only appropriate I leave it to readers to find the message and decipher it (optional, of course). Some research may be necessary, if you don't know the story.

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.
