The curse of humankind
A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
Our way
by CD Richards
|
Septembrise (v.) to murder someone for political reasons.
The events of September 11, 2001 didn't directly inspire this poem, but thinking about them reminds me that the older I get, the less I have any faith in humanity as a species.
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.
