Ecopoiesis (n.) the establishing of a functioning ecosystem on a lifeless planet.

There is much excitement about plans to establish a human colony on Mars. Some view this as the last hope for humanity, as we complete the inevitable and imminent destruction of this world. I have a slightly different viewpoint.

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.
