A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
: Telepheme by CD Richards

It's more a nightmare than a dream;
your actions are rather extreme.
I once thought you cared,
so how have you dared
to break up with me by telepheme?

Author Notes
Today's word: telepheme (n.) a message delivered by telephone.

Just biding my time until a more inspiring word comes along.

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.
