A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities

Over it

by CD Richards


I cannot stand this word I've got today;

In thirty seconds, I was over it.

For, unlike my new go-to-meeting clothes,

it really is a pain to make it fit!
 




Today's word: go-to-meeting (adj.) of clothes - smart, formal.

I swear sometimes he makes this stuff up!

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.
