A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
Fake News, part 271

Today's word: geoplanarian (n.) someone who believes the Earth is flat.
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.
